Biographical/Historical note
Biographical/Historical note
Benjamin West Kilburn (1827-1909) was a photographer and stereograph publisher. Circa 1865, he established Kilburn Brothers with his brother Edward Kilburn. Edward retired from the partnership around 1877, though Benjamin West continued to publish under the Kilburn Brothers name until the late 1880s. Then, he operated under the name B.W. Kilburn & Company, at which time he acquired exclusive rights to sell stereoscopic views of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
