EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Detroit Edison Company, Detroit, Mich.," was captured by renowned American photographer William H. Jackson between 1900 and 1910. The image presents a striking view of the Detroit Edison Power Plant located in Detroit, Michigan, during the early 20th century. The plant, with its imposing chimneys and industrial machinery, stands proudly on the waterfront, emitting plumes of smoke into the sky. The Detroit Edison Company, established in 1896, was a pioneer in the electrical power industry, providing electricity to the city of Detroit and its surrounding areas. The plant in this photograph showcases the company's commitment to progress and innovation during the industrial revolution. The photograph, taken as a dry plate negative on glass, captures the raw power and energy of the era. The image is a testament to the country's industrial heritage and the role Detroit played in shaping the United States' electrical power industry. The photograph also highlights the contrast between the pristine water and the industrial landscape, hinting at the environmental impact of the power plant. Edwin H. Husher, an employee of the Detroit Publishing Company, is believed to have taken this photograph for their extensive collection of images documenting American life during the early 1900s. The photograph is now part of the Library of Congress's collection, preserving a piece of American history for future generations to explore. This image is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of industry, technology, and the United States during the 1900s.
