Die Detroit Publishing Company wurde vom Verleger William A. Livingstone und dem Fotografen Edwin H. Husher gegründet. Im Jahr 1905 nannte sich das Unternehmen Detroit Publishing Company. Der bekannteste Fotograf des Unternehmens war William Henry Jackson, der 1897 in das Unternehmen eintrat. Das Unternehmen erwarb die exklusiven Nutzungsrechte an einer Form der Bildbearbeitung namens Photochrom. Photochrom ermöglichte es dem Unternehmen, Postkarten und andere Materialien in Farbe auf den Massenmarkt zu bringen. Wir bei GetArchive sind Bewunderer ihrer außergewöhnlichen hochauflösenden Scans von Glasnegativen aus der Library of Congress. Zur Zeit des Ersten Weltkriegs sah sich das Unternehmen sowohl aufgrund der Kriegswirtschaft als auch aufgrund der Konkurrenz durch billigere, fortschrittlichere Druckmethoden rückläufigen Umsätzen ausgesetzt. Das Unternehmen meldete 1924 Konkurs an und wurde 1932 liquidiert.

William Henry Jackson (1843-1942) was an American painter, photographer, and explorer who is best known for his pioneering work in documenting the American West. He was born in Keeseville, New York, and after serving in the Union Army during the American Civil War, he became interested in photography. Jackson worked as a photographer for the United States Geological Survey, and he was a member of several expeditions to the West, including the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871. During these expeditions, he produced a large number of photographs that helped to document the landscape and the Native American cultures of the region. Jackson's photographs were instrumental in promoting the idea of creating national parks in the United States. He was also one of the founding members of the Detroit Photographic Company, which produced a large number of postcards and other commercial products based on his photographs.
