~1910 Original ~1910 postcard of a Native American Hopi blanket weaver.The Detroit Photographic Company was launched as a photographic publishing firm in the late 1890s by Detroit businessman William A. Livingstone, Jr., and photographer and photo-publisher Edwin H. Husher. The company obtained the exclusive rights to use the Swiss "Photochrom" process, a photomechanical technique that used lithographic stones to convert black-and-white prints to color. The process allowed the company to mass-produce color postcards, prints and albums that were of unusually high quality. The company changed it's name to Detroit Publishing Company in 1905.
