The partnership of Merrill and Humphries operated a drug store located at the village of Delhi in Delaware County, New York while also publishing scenic postcards of the western Catskills region from 1911 to 1928. After the partnership dissolved in 1928, Pierre B. Merrill continued to publish postcards under his own name.

See my blog post titled “Merrill & Humphries – Delhi, New York Photography Partnership” published on February 6, 2021 for an interesting biography of this famed photographic partnership.

I have recently acquired over 40 postcards that were published either by the partnership of Merrill & Humphries or by P. B. Merrill. All the postcards can be viewed on the Gallery page at: Gallery > Historic Catskills Photographers > Merrill & Humphries – Delhi, NY Photographers.
