Edmund Burke Kellogg (1809-1872) and Elijah Chapman Kellogg (1811-1881) were the principal partners in the firm from the 1840s through the 1860s. During this period the Kelloggs specialized increasingly in the kind of cheap popular prints being simultaneously manufactured in New York by Currier & Ives. In some cases, the same image was issued by both E.B. & E.C. Kellogg and by Currier & Ives. E.B. Kellogg was trained as a printer and worked for newspapers in New London, Stonington and Toronto, before joining his brother Daniel’s lithographic firm. E.C. Kellogg studied engraving with another brother, Jarvis Griggs Kellogg, before joining Daniel’s firm.

E.B. & E.C. Kellogg after John Trumbull. Trumbull’s monumental history painting of the Battle of Bunker’s Hill is reduced to a crude caricature in this lithograph issued by E.B. & E.C. Kellogg in the 1840s.
