E. & H. T. Anthony & Company
E. & H. T. Anthony & Company was the largest supplier and distributors of photographic supplies in the United States during the 19th century .
Company founder Edward Anthony, a Columbia College trained civil engineer who had studied photography with Samuel F.B Morse, started in the photography business in 1842 by opening a Daguerreotype
gallery in New York. Five years later he opened a separate shop devoted
exclusively to photographic supplies and as sales grew rapidly ceased
operations in his daguerrotypist gallery. In 1850 Anthony began the
production of daguerreotype cases, camera boxes, and photographic
chemicals. His brother, Henry T. Anthony, joined the business two years
later in 1852
The Anthony brothers' factory was located at New York City's Harlem Railroad
Depot occupying 1/4 of the building by 1854 and advertised that their
company was the largest manufacturer and distributor of photographic
apparatus and material in the world. In 1859 Anthony added stereoscopic
view cards, photographic albums, and gallery furniture and backdrops to
the company's product lines. The Anthony company also maintained a
close business relationship with famed American photographer and
portraitist Mathew Brady.
From February, 1870 until April, 1902 the company published a monthly magazine called Anthony's Photographic Bulletin
which included many photographs and illustrations as well as a wide
variety of contributed technical, practical, and scholarly articles
along with advertisements for the Anthony company's products and other
services. In the 1890s the company also developed and produced two
consumer cameras of their own design—a camera-box called the "Buckeye"
and a more expensive bellows-box type called the "Marlborough"—as well
as an extensive line of photo cases and other products.
