1902 Original 1902 postcard showing a Pueblo (Hopi) Indian woman in Isletta, New Mexico. Detroit Photographic Company was launched as a photographic publishing firm in the late 1890s by Detroit businessman William A. Livingstone, Jr., and photographer Edwin H. Husher. The company obtained the exclusive rights to use the Swiss "Photochrom" process, a technique that used lithographic stones to convert black-and-white prints to color. The process allowed the company to mass-produce color postcards that were of unusually high quality. The company changed it's name to Detroit Publishing Company in 1905.
