- Description:
- Print. Black and white photographic print of a police officer walking alongside a woman pushing a baby carriage in Campus Martius. The Detroit Opera House, Merrill Fountain, and the Wonderland vaudeville theater--advertising "Continuous Vaudeville"--are in the background. The photo appears to have been reproduced from one with an irregularly cropped top border, and lower left corner. "1898-1910" handwritten on verso, although the presence of the Merrill Fountain, installed in 1901, tightens this range.

- Description:
- Small sepia-toned photographic print incorrectly captioned on verso as "Cadillac Square, looking west, March 10th, 1918" which in fact depicts a street-level westward view from Campus Martius down Michigan Avenue. Snow covers the ground. The low light from a sunset silhouettes both the figures in coats and hats which approach the camera and the Majestic Building on the right, as well as creates a flare effect in the center of the image. A large sign, the visible portion reading, "Join... for" is posted on the Majestic Building on the right edge of the frame. City Hall, and the Recreation Building are in the background.
