Henry Morris, born ca. 1829 in Pennsylvania, worked as a lithographer and printer in Philadelphia from 1850-1875. He first
worked with Cuban-born lithographer F. J. Pilliner at 37 1/2 South Third Street in 1856 and then for P. S. Duval in the late
1850s (at the time of Duval's insolvency). Although Morris's later employers and business locations are unknown, he continued
in the trade and served as the master of ceremonies for the second grand ball of the Lithographic Printers Union in 1863.
