Chicago, State Street
Pictures by Detroit Photographic Co.
Crowds, carriages and yellow streetcars fill State Street in a hand-coloured photochrom made by the Detroit Photographic Co. around 1900, with a bird's-eye map of Chicago inside. Lined with early skyscrapers, this was the city's great shopping street, home to grand department stores like Marshall Field's. For someone who loves Chicago.
