EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Detroit Rubber Works, Detroit, Mich." by William H. Jackson, captures the industrial landscape of Detroit, Michigan in the early 1900s. The image, taken around 1908, showcases the imposing presence of the Detroit Rubber Works factory, with its tall smokestacks billowing out plumes of smoke against the backdrop of the Detroit River. The waterfront location of the factory is evident, with the water's reflection creating a mirror-like effect on the glass dry plate negative. The factory complex, which appears to consist of several interconnected buildings, is surrounded by a vast expanse of open land, suggesting the vast scale of the manufacturing operations taking place within. The chimneys, a symbol of industry and progress, are a testament to the city's economic power during this period. However, they also speak to the environmental cost of industrialization, with the smoke and pollution they emit. The Detroit Publishing Company, which published this photograph, was a leading publisher of American views and images during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This photograph, along with others in their collection, provides a valuable historical record of the country's industrial heritage. William H. Jackson, the photographer, was an accomplished artist and photographer, whose work documented the changing landscape of America during this period. His image of the Detroit Rubber Works offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insight into the country's industrial history and the role that cities like Detroit played in shaping the American economy.
