Detroit Photographic Company was started by publisher William A. Livingstone and photographer Edwin H. Husher in the late 19th century, it later became The Detroit Photochrom Company, and in 1905 the company was renamed as the Detroit Publishing Company.
The company licensed the rights to a color printing process developed by Hans Jakob Schmid of Orell Fussli & Company of Switzerland called Photochrom and published under the name P.Z. Photochrom allowed for the company to mass market postcards other materials in color.
By the time of World War I, the company faced declining sales both due to the war economy and the competition from cheaper, more advanced printing methods. The company declared bankruptcy in 1924 and was liquidated in 1932.
