Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 33100846 with the curious exception that all the records record it as "the story" rather than "history." John McLoughlin was a Scottish-born coach maker who became a prominent figure in the New York publishing industry during the 19th century. He began in 1819 after moving to New York and initially worked for the Sterling Iron Company where he developed an interest in printing. By 1828 he had established his own printing business on Tryon Row in Manhattan focusing on publishing semi-religious tracts for children under the title McLoughlin's Books for Children. In 1840 McLoughlin partnered with wood engraver Robert H. Elton to form Elton & Co. which specialised in toy books comic almanacs and valentines. His son John McLoughlin Jr. eventually took over in 1850 when both senior partners retired. The firm of McLoughlin Brothers is listed at 24 Beekman St. in the New York directories for 1858 to 1862 McLoughlin Bros. was located at 30 Beekman St. New York between 1863 and April 1870. Under John Jr.'s leadership the company became known as McLoughlin Brothers and pioneered the use of colour printing technologies including chromolithography for children's books. This innovation made their publications visually striking and widely popular. The McLoughlin Brothers expanded their offerings to include games puzzles paper dolls and other children's products. By 1870 they had opened the largest colour printing factory in the United States. Their works often featured adaptations of British stories by illustrators such as Randolph Caldecott and Kate Greenaway. The company thrived until it was sold to Milton Bradley in 1920. Despite this transition the McLoughlin imprint continued to produce children's books into the early 20th century. John McLoughlin paperback
18755523Paris: N.D. Photo / X. Photo. C1875. Two attractive albumen photographs of Paris pasted onto two sides of the same piece of stiff card. Both are 21cm x 28cm. One is a view of the Champ Elysées taken from on top of the Arc de Triomphe. A good clean and bright image showing quite a crowd of carriages on the road with pedestrians on the wide pavements to the side. The view fades into the distance. Clean and good photograph. The second side shows the front of the National Opera with carriages omnibuses and pedestrians milling around. What is particularly interesting in this shot is that the lamp posts are being installed in Front of the Opera. These enable us to date the photograph as they were originally installed in 1875. These form part of the "Ring of Light" Ceinture de Lumière a set of 60 lighting fixtures designed by architect Charles Garnier as integral to the opera house's exterior when it opened on January 5 1875. A nice photograph if slightly faded. The backing card is 25.5cm x 30.5cm and has a couple of closed tears to the edges. not affecting the prints.

Une image nette et lumineuse montrant une foule de voitures sur la route avec des piétons sur les larges trottoirs latéraux. La vue s'estompe au loin. Une photographie nette et de bonne qualité. Le deuxième côté montre la façade de l'Opéra national avec des voitures des omnibus et des piétons qui s'affairent. Ce qui est particulièrement intéressant dans cette photo c'est que des lampadaires sont en cours d'installation devant l'Opéra. Cela nous permet de dater la photographie car ils ont été installés à l'origine en 1875. Ils font partie de la « Ceinture de Lumière » un ensemble de 60 luminaires conçus par l'architecte Charles Garnier comme partie intégrante de l'extérieur de l'opéra lors de son ouverture le 5 janvier 1875. Une belle photographie bien qu'un peu décolorée. La carte de support mesure 255 cm x 305 cm et présente quelques déchirures fermées sur les bords qui n'affectent pas les tirages.
