About Detroit Publishing Co.: The Detroit Publishing Company of Detroit, Michigan printed postcards from 1898-1932. Its name appears as the Detroit Photographic Company, The Detroit Photochrom Company, and the Detroit Publishing Company. The Detroit cards often feature a small painter’s palette with the name of the firm. The company held the rights to the Photochrom and Photostint processes, which are often indicated on the cards. Cards printed during the latter years of the company often have small Roman numerals printed by the dividing line on the back of the card that indicate the year when the card was printed (i.e. xvii = 1917).
The dates on this list represent the time of the first printing. Many of the images were reprinted for several years after the initial run—some into the 1930s—using the original numbers.
