Baldwin Locomotive Works was founded in 1831 by Matthias W. Baldwin, with the aid of machinist David Mason. After Baldwin's death in 1866 the firm was known as: 'M. Baird & Co.' (1867-1873), 'Burnham, Parry, Williams & Co.' (1873-1890); and 'Burnham, Williams & Co.' (1891-1909). In 1881 a catalogue was published with albumen prints of the various locomotives of Baldwin Locomotive Works constructed by Burnham, Parry, Williams & Co.
