Title:
Books Printed at London, and are to be Sold by Elizabeth Hutchinson in Durham
Description:
Women have actively participated in the bookselling and printing trades since the invention of movable type around 1450. Though women were not permitted to take up printing apprenticeships, both printing and bookselling tended to be family businesses that included women. Well-hidden and tipped into this copy of a seventeenth- century travel book is a rather substantial list of books available at "reasonable rates" from bookseller Elizabeth Hutchinson, possibly the wife of bookbinder Hugh Hutchinson, who kept shop from 1665 to 1684.
