During the early on years of the Twentieth Century the Detroit Publishing Company traveled roughly America taking photographs as well as selling postcards of unlike cities. When visiting a metropolis the photographers would oftentimes detect a high edifice from which to lead keep a serial of bird's middle thought photographs. When stitched together these pictures could hold upwards made into 1 long panoramic epitome of the city.
I've stitched together vii images of Detroit, which were photographed inwards roughly 1908, to exercise an historical thought of the metropolis equally it looked at the outset of the Twentieth Century. The General View of Detroit uses the Leaflet mapping library to render an interactive interface for the panorama, which allows you lot to zoom inwards as well as out as well as pan roughly the image.
Unfortunately the software I used to run upwards the vii images together omitted 1 of the images. Therefore at that spot is a glitch inwards the panorama. You tin thought the missing epitome (and the other vi master copy images) on the Library of Congress website. I used Microsoft's Image Composite Editor to exercise the panorama. Normally this epitome stitching software is really good. In this instance I mean value it is thrown past times an mistake inwards the bottom corner of 1 of the Detroit Publishing Company negatives.
To exercise the interactive map I adapted the Non-geographical Maps instance from the Leaflet tutorials. This allows you lot to easily exercise an interactive map from whatsoever epitome or photograph.
