By 1843 or 1844 he had struck out on his own, producing a wide range of lithographed images in the style of his former employer. At first glance most of Baillie's product looks like a Currier; only close inspection of the text reveals the print to be by a different publisher. Evidently Baillie also collaborated with two other, Sowle and Shaw, of New Bedford and Boston, in the production of these widely distributed images.
