About McLoughlin Bros Co:
The company specialized in retelling or
bowdlerizations of classic stories for children. The artistic and
commercial roots of the McLoughlin firm were first developed by John
McLoughlin, Jr. (1827–1905) who made his younger brother Edmund
McLoughlin (1833 or 4-1889) a partner in 1855. By 1886, the firm
published a wide range of items, including cheap chapbooks, large
folio picture books, linen books, puzzles, games, paper soldiers and
paper dolls. Many of the earliest and most valuable board games in
America were produced by McLoughlin Brothers of New York. In 1920
the corporation was sold to Milton Bradley & Company. McLoughlin
ceased game production at this time, but continued publishing their
picture books.
The company worked with numerous artists of the time, including
Sarah Noble Ives, William Bruton, Edward P. Cogger, Enos Comstock,
Frances Bassett Comstock, Georgina A. Davis, Henry Walker Herrick,
Justin H. Howard, May Audubon Post, Victor Renwick, Ida Waugh, and
Lois Williams.[3] These artists created richly colored watercolors
as well as pen-and-ink drawings, which were adapted to the printing
processes for mass production. -- Source: Wikipedia --
