About Kellogg & Bulkeley
Kellogg & Bulkeley was a lithographic printing firm in Hartford, Connecticut. It grew out of the business of the Kellogg brothers, a family of Hartford lithographers who began printing in the early 1830s. Daniel Wright Kellogg opened the first shop, and his younger brothers Edmund Burke Kellogg and Elijah Chapman Kellogg carried it on, trading as E. B. & E. C. Kellogg from the early 1840s. Their decorative prints for the home sold across the country, and they were second only to Currier & Ives of New York in commercial success. In 1867 William H. Bulkeley and Frank Bulkeley joined Edmund and Elijah Kellogg as partners, and the firm took the name Kellogg & Bulkeley. By the early 1870s it had become an incorporated stock company, and the word Company was added to its name. Alongside popular pictures such as the pair of Christmas Morning prints of 1871, it printed show cards, labels, bank drafts, envelopes and wood engravings. Its addresses in Hartford included Main Street and Pearl Street. In 1947 it merged with Case, Lockwood & Brainard to form Connecticut Printers, which closed in 1990. The Connecticut Historical Society holds a large collection of the firm's work, including views of the State Capitol in Hartford.
