Photographed around 1906 by the Detroit Publishing Company, capturing the region's booming copper processing industry.

For this extremely high-resolution photograph, the original photographic sequence was manually stitched together by hand by Photographium to create the final seamless image. The resulting composite was then carefully cleaned and restored by hand, preserving the original character while removing imperfections.

The result is an extraordinary level of resolution, revealing an astonishing wealth of fine detail that would otherwise be impossible to see.
