Kellogg, Edmund Burke (sold)
Edmund Burke Kellogg (May 27, 1809 - March 26, 1872) was an American lithographer and printer. Born in Tolland, Connecticut, Kellogg trained as a newspaper printer and was apprenticed with Samuel Green in New London, Connecticut. Kellogg joined his probers Daniel Wright Kellogg (1807 - 1874) and Elijah Chapman Kellogg (1811 - 1881) at Daniel's firm D.W. Kellogg and Company sometime in the 1830s. Around 1836, Daniel moved west, and Edmund and Elijah took over the firm. Edmund and Elijah renamed the firm E.B. and E.C. Kellogg in 1842. This firm operated until 1848, when John C. Comstock joined the brothers and the business became Kellogg and Comstock. The partnership with Comstock lasted only until 1850, and the brothers went their separate ways. Edmund and Elijah reopened E.B. and E.C. Kellogg in 1855. Elijah's son, Charles B. Kellogg, joined the firm around 1865. Edmund and Elijah sold their interest in the firm to William H. Bulkeley (1840 - 1902) in 1867. The younger Kellogg and Bulkeley partnered to form the firm Kellogg and Bulkeley. Kellogg and Bulkeley operated until 1946, when it merged with Case, Lockwood, and Brainard to form Connecticut Printers, Inc, which is still in operation today.

The only known example of the 1848 edition of House and Brown's broadside map of Texas, Mexico, and Upper California, issued at the end of the Mexican-American War (1846 - 1848). The map is centered on Texas, which is presented at its largest, with its western border embracing Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and the stovepipe configuration extending its northern border to 42° N latitude. The map is elaborated by inset maps of Monterey illustrating the Battle of Monterrey (September 21 - 24, 1846) and Veracruz, Mexico. In addition, the Gulf of Mexico is occupied by a large vignette view of the fortress of San Juan de Ulúa, Veracruz. In this edition, Texas is uncolored, emphasizing that it is part of the United States, but Upper California and New Mexico are colored as Mexican intendencias, suggesting this map predates the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and must therefore have been sent to the presses sometime before February 28, 1848.
