Tichnor Bros. advertisement in 1916 city directory
Tichnor Brothers, Inc. was a Boston-based American graphic arts and printing company in operation from 1908 to 1987.[1] Tichnor was one of the major producers of souvenir postcards of American cities in the 20th century, including large-letter postcards from 1936 to 1952.[2] Tichnor and Curt Teich were rivals; in at least one case Curt Teich managers wanted to copy a view from a Tichnor postcard.[3] The Tichnor Bros. archives, a valuable source for American architectural and cultural history, are held at Boston Public Library, which has also posted thousands of free-use images online at their Digital Commonwealth site and in Flickr albums.[4]
The founding brothers were Harry N. Tichnor (July 7, 1877 – July 26, 1911) and Louis Tichnor (September 11, 1879 – November 6, 1974).[5][6] Harry and Louis were two of Morris and Dora (Weiss) Tichnor's eight children; the others were Annie, Rose, Caroline, Samuel, Rudolph and Fred.[7][8] Morris and Dora were emigrants of Jewish ancestry from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.[8][9] Louis was born Leopold Tichnor; Louis' obituary said the firm was established in 1897.[10][11] Harry Tichnor died of a burst appendix in 1911.[9] Louis died at age 95 after a long illness; he was survived by his brother Samuel (among others).[11] The name is sometimes spelled Ticknor or Teichner in early records.[12]
