The
Early Years:
On
December 17, 1895, the Photochrom Company of Detroit filed
incorporation papers with the State of Michigan. Although
officially maintaining the Photochrom Company name, the
company was known as the Detroit Photographic Company
from 1898 until 1906 when it went by the name of the Detroit
Publishing Company.

In
1896 founder Edwin H. Husher obtained the rights to a Swiss-patented
lithographic method of converting black and white photographs
into color lithographs, known as “Photochrom.”
This process enabled the company to produce color
lithographs of unrivaled quality. The inside cover
of this pocket watch commemorates the agreement between
Paul F. Wild of the Photoglob Company and Edwin H. Husher.
