W.H. TILFORD & CO., PICTORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY CHEMICAL / LIQUID DEVELOPER BOTTLE, colorless, tall square form with flat panels and beveled corners, embossed "W.H. TILFORD / ST. LOUIS. MO" above a highly detailed embossed picture of an early plate/film camera (possibly a Graflex or Kodak model) on a curved-leg tripod stand, with "PHOTOGRAPHERS / SUPPLIES" embossed below; short neck with tooled cork top mouth, smooth base. Saint Louis, Missouri. Circa 1875. 8 1/8" H.
Catalogue Note: An early advertisement placed in R.V. Kennedy & Co.'s 1857 St. Louis directory describes Tilford's "City Gallery" as specializing in "Daguerrotype, Photograph, and Ambrotype Pictures". The company describes themselves as "dealers in all kinds of stock and apparatus appertaining to either of the above Arts. Always on hand a supply of Tilford's Positive and Negative COLODION." The present bottle must post-date that ad by at least a couple decades; however, despite the apparently long lifespan of Tilford's business, we can locate no other examples of this attractively embossed bottle. It most likely held some type of liquid developer chemical, similar to the famous Velox brand.

Condition

Undamaged with some residual chemical/contents stain to interior and a bit of exterior grime.
