Founded 1701. Above the text, a small figure of the Spirit of Detroit — arms outstretched, holding light in one hand and a family in the other — sits centered at the top of the sign. The black mat and natural wood frame hold it flat against the wall. It is direct, familiar, and entirely Detroit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDetroit was founded on July 24, 1701 by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac on the banks of the Detroit River — a strategic narrows connecting Lake Erie to Lake St. Clair. Over three centuries it became a center of industry, music, labor, and resilience. The \"Welcome to Detroit\" sign is one of the city's most recognized civic symbols, updated over the years but always carrying the founding date. This version pairs the sign format with the Spirit figure — two of the city's most enduring icons in a single frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA document of arrival — the first thing you see when you cross into the city, rendered as a print worth keeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuseum-quality matte print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted on demand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in multiple sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnframed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd optional custom text (location, date, or caption).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Foundry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169976697021,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/7801\/3117\/files\/IMG_8098.jpg?v=1782941900","url":"https:\/\/thefoundryhlc.com\/products\/welcome-to-detroit-founded-1701-artifact-print","provider":"The Foundry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
