Description
Colorized photo from 1915
Original Title: Str. no. 190, main engine in shop, 3 cyln. compound-inclined type, [probably in Wyandotte, Mich.
Location: 801�1803 Atwater Street in Detroit, Michigan
The original was more square and had these thick white crop lines on it. I tightened the crop and straightend the best I could. The lens they used still distorted things, I did the best I could. Colorwise is a guess. They had cast steel then, and used brass, so I guessed for the most part.
When I first found this image I was a bit bored of it. Then i saw the tiny people against that giant machine. Looking deeper and at the top, I saw this guy in the gantry, just sitting there on what looked to be a dining room chair. It worked well for me, because it was cool, but mostly we have a scale point.
