This catalog contains 11 items related to William Hone (1780-1842), the English writer, satirist, and bookseller. Hone was a rabble-rousing journalist during the Regency period, when he satirized the Crown, and was drug into court for his troubles. In the end, Hone won the lawsuits brought by the Crown, and he thus became known as a defender of the freedom of the press. Includes 9 items printed by or for Hone, 2 items he edited, and a late nineteen-century biography of William Hone.
36 items showing examples of women in the book arts, 1923-2025. Writers, compositors, printers, illustrators, book binders, book sellers, bibliographer/scholars, and more.
