About Henry T. Anthony

Lived 1814 – 1884 (aged 70). Henry T. Anthony was an American photographer and businessperson.

Henry Tiebout Anthony (September 18, 1814 – October 11, 1884) was an American photographer and the vice president of the E. & H. T. Anthony & Company, which was the largest manufacturer and distributor of photographic supplies in the United States during the 19th century. Henry Anthony was a brother of Edward Anthony and had a close business relationship with Mathew Brady.

Biography Anthony was born in New York. Jacob Anthony, his father, was for many years one of the principal bank tellers in The United States Branch Bank and cashier of the old Bank of the State of New York. The family derives their descent from Allard Anthony, an immigrant from Holland to New Amsterdam about 1628, who was one of the first five councilmen of the new colony. Soon after Edward established his photography firm, Henry joined him in 1852, the firm becoming the E. & H. T. Anthony & Company.
