Thayer, Bridgman & Fanning

The partnership between Horace Thayer, Erastus C. Bridgman, and Thomas C. Fanning was extremely short-lived. Thayer was doing business as Horace Thayer & Co. in 1852; the firm Ensign, Bridgman & Fanning was established by 1854 and remained in business until 1863. All four men were sometimes associated with the Kellogg brothers lithography firm of Hartford, Connecticut. The imprint of Thayer, Bridgman & Fanning appears on a map published in 1853.
