Natural Color Publishers Inc was located at 605 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, Florida. In 1947, after Hans Walter Hannau fled Austria to the U.S., Hannau encouraged his mother-in-law to establish Natural Color Publishers. The business was originally designed to promote Miami Beach and a cheesecake-models including named Bunny and Bettie Page. On 14 December 1948 the business was incorporated in Miami.
On 15 May 1953, the business was dissolved. This may have been due to Hannau establishing Hannau Colour Productions after signing a sales contract with Robinson Printers Inc. For some unknown reason, the business was started again in 16 May 1956 before being dissolved again on 24 April 1960.
On 31 December 1961, Hannau had established Argos Inc which changed its named to Hannau Color Productions Inc on 27 October 1964. Some postcards of Natural Color Publishers Inc appear from 1962-64 with photo credits to Hannau Color Productions Inc.
