The first English woman to print books under her own name!

At our open house last week, we featured several items for Women's History Month, including this 1540 printing of Magna Carta. Elisabeth (Pickering) Redman (1510-1562) was married to Robert Redman, a printer of law books in London. This copy was printed after his death and under Elisabeth's name, "imprinted at London in Fleet Street..at the sign of the George next to Saint Dunston's church" according to the colophon.

Thirteen of Robert Redman's books were printed within nine months of his death, and ten besides this one were under Elisabeth's name.

For those of you who followed me before October and are tired of so much of my content focusing on antisemitism now, well, yeah.

Me too.

Everything from trade dress to colophon leads to your brand narrative.
