Contact prints and PhotoChromes made my William Henry Jackson of Ocean Springs in 1901 for the Detroit Photographic Co.
The Detroit Photographic Company was launched as a photographic publishing firm in the late 1890s and produced black and white and hand tinted color postcards, prints, and photo albums.  The photographs were made by William Henry Jackson with a variety of field cameras using glass plate negatives.  The firm was known as the Detroit Photographic Co. until 1905 when it became the Detroit Publishing Company.
