Rather than a street scene, this glass negative records a press feature on enlargement: a photograph from Wide World Photos, copied so that the magnified image is itself the subject. The catalog notes suggest the process may have served medical purposes, where enlarged images could help reveal fine detail. The Detroit Publishing Company, which issued thousands of views of the city and beyond, filed this copy under its number K 3003. The plate itself shows how photographic reproduction was spreading through newspapers in the years after World War I.
