Five years later he opened a separate shop devoted exclusively to photographic supplies and as sales grew rapidly ceased operations in his daguerreotypist 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 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. The firm's name was formally changed to E. & H.T. Anthony & Co. in 1862 and in 1877 was reorganized as a corporation. E. & H.T. Anthony merged with the Scovill and Adams Company in 1902. Clean and sharp image. Paper tag on the back.
