Fanny F. Palmer (Lithographer)
1812-08/20/1876
Fanny Palmer began working for Nathaniel Currier (later Currier & Ives) about 1851, and is today credited with over 200 signed lithographs and countless others unsigned.
Sarony, Major & Knapp (Printer)
1857-1864 or 1867
Napoleon Sarony was born in Quebec in 1821. He moved to New York around 1836 and studied with Archibald Robinson. He worked for Nathaniel Currier before starting a business with James P. Major in 1843. In 1845 James Major was replaced by Henry B. Major in Sarony & Major. Sarony's next corporate incarnation was known as Sarony, Major & Knapp in which he was joined by Richard Major and Joseph F. Knapp from 1857 to 1867. He withdrew from the firm around 1867 to establish a studio of photography. Sarony later spent six years in Europe, where he visited lithographers in Berlin and Paris. He eventually returned to New York and set up another photographic studio.
