Magee published almanacs, pamphlets, and lithographs, often political and news event prints. Known lithographs include views of the Mexican American War (ca. 1847-1848) and the embellished portrait 'Gen. W.

By 1893, the business known since the 1880s as Magee Printing House had relocated to 826 Walnut Street. The firm continued into the 20th century as Magee Printing Co. at 130 South Ninth Street., Magee was married to Mary A. (b. ca. 1820) and resided in New Market Ward with three children and possibly a servant in 1850.
