Reminds me of some old glass negatives I heard about (probably 8x10) of a city this way. I heard they were zooming in enlarging just portions and seeing identifiable people. I can see people in this zoom (the park near the band shell).

Pretty amazing.

Do you have more details on this shoot?

I've seen dagguerreotypes that looked very detailed.

Here's an old analog black and white (2 August 1914), in which an individual was identified:
