About This Item
New York: E. & H.T. Anthony Company, 1888. First Edition. Large 8vo, wraps, 115 pp. 7 x 10 ½ inches. Good. Edward Anthony and his brother Henry operated the largest photographic supply company in the United States in the late nineteenth century. Edward operated a small photography practice before converting his business to a supply house. Henry came on board in 1852. The brothers operated successful business for the decades following, until Edward's death in 1888. This trade catalog, published the same year as Edward's death, provides an overview of the photographic technologies of the day, with all aspects of the process represented including photographer's props. The Anthony firm published a series of instructional books on photography, and acted as distributors for British periodicals.
A scarce catalog, with eight copies held (the varying cover title and title listed on the title page have led to multiple entries). Good condition overall with some chipping to wraps and excellent contents.
