Donaldson Brothers was an American lithography and printing firm based in the Five Points district of Manhattan, New York City. The company was operated by four brothers—Frank J., George W., John L., and Robert M. Donaldson—all born in Edinburgh, Scotland, who emigrated to the United States in 1856. The firm became known for its chromolithographic trade cards and advertising prints, produced on high-speed steam presses that generated brightly colored images in large quantities. In 1892 Donaldson Brothers was consolidated into the newly formed American Lithographic Company, a large printing conglomerate in New York City.
