Original – Birds eye view, showing about three miles square, of the central portion of the city of Detroit, Michigan, 1889
Reason
The previous nomination had no opposes, but failed from lack of participation, for which I (Adam) blame myself: By the time I had the restoration ready, it was well down the page. Diannaa had this one right: It's a valuable image for the history of Detroit, by showing a snapshot of it at this point of time. It's also a lovely example of a sort of lithograph - a limited-colour image - that we don't have many of.
