Summary: 
Founder Edward A. Curtis got his start at the Boston Type & Stereotype Foundry before taking a position at the George Holmes foundry. In 1847, Curtis went into partnership with Holmes, operating the foundry as Holmes & Curtis until Holmes retired in 1852. Curtis renamed the business E. A. Curtis until 1863, when he took on E. Z. Mitchell as a partner, at which time the company name was changed to Curtis & Mitchell. It was located at 15 Federal Street around 1878. This catalog includes: type metal, equipment, presses, cuts, ornaments, and rule. --Annenberg, M. Type foundries of America and their catalogs, pages 152-153.
