Here is one I just found.

Etching involves the production of etching plates to transfer the image(s) to the final material via an acid treatment. Something that may or may not be more economical, but should be more detailed (and could have color) would be to have the image(s) burned into the metal with a laser. A few years back, a local company that produces titanium (RMI Titanium in Niles, Ohio) was selling small (I only saw one size, like 6" x 8") landscape scenes burned into the titanium plates. This type of process would be computer controlled, so it should not be much of a task to load a picture into the computer and have it control the laser to make a very detailed picture. There was a bit of hologram effect as well, which may have been how the colors were generated because there was no paint involved. Perhaps even a woodworking shop that does laser burning of wood could produce such items.

Thank you all for your responses. I will be looking into all your suggestions.
God Bless.
