City - Detroit MI - Motor City 1917 Postcard

Colourized photo from 1917 Original title: Looking up Woodward Ave Location: 611 Woodward Ave, Detroit, MI This is Woodward Ave as seen in 1917, a location that has changed significantly over the years. In fact if people back then time travelled to now, the only thing they would recognise is the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. And even then that was moved from this spot to its current spot, complete with a new fountain. On the left is the Majestic Building, built in 1896, it was designed to be a department store, but ended up being an office building, it was demolished back in 1962. Some of the other buildings like the Kern's building, and Hudson’s stuck around until the early 1990’s but eventually they were levelled as well. This street was the first street to be paved in America. Made of concrete, they poured a mile of it back in 1909. This was a fun time, with plenty of signs and hidden details. For example, can you find the army recruitment tent? How about the cow head sign?

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.

These cards are great quality, I use them as enclosure cards for my business! Hey are a little pricey but you definitely get the quality and professionalism! Repurchased a few times now and will continue to do so :). Beautiful, nice sheen on them, sharp and clear
