Tipton & Co. 1878-1929 Gettysburg, PA William Howard Tipton entered the world of photography by apprenticing to the Tyson Brothers when he was only 12 years old. This studio was purchased by Robert Asbury Myers in 1866 and the two soon became partners opening the Tipton & Myers Excelsior Gallery. In 1873 C.J. Tyson came back into the picture and bought out Myers, but Tipton bought out Tyson by 1878. Tipton set up a new studio under his own name in 1880 from which he produced carte de visite and stereo-views in addition to his large format landscape photos. As postcards came into fashion Tipton began publishing his images as continuous toned lithographic postcards. Tipton is considered the foremost photographer of the Gettysburg battlefield.
