The Lucas County Courthouse in Toledo, Ohio, is the subject here, recorded on an 8 by 10 inch glass dry plate negative. The Detroit Publishing Company, which made the plate sometime between 1900 and 1915, specialized in large-format views of American cities, towns, and landmarks. Courthouses of this period were often the most imposing buildings in their towns, housing county offices and courtrooms and serving as civic symbols of local government. The large negative size captures architectural detail that smaller cameras of the time could not match.
