McLoughlin Brothers (1855 - 1920) was a New York-based publisher of children's books and games. They were early adopters of chromolithographic printing for children's books and the original artwork for their book is now a sought-after collector's item. They were bought by Milton Bradley and Company in 1920, but continued to publish under their own name for many years, even after Milton Bradley was purchased by Hasbro.
