Edward retired from the partnership around 1877, though Benjamin West continued to publish under the Kilburn Brothers name until the late 1880s.  Then, he operated under the name B.W. Kilburn & Company, at which time he acquired exclusive rights to sell stereoscopic views of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
