Samuel Thorne, Printer is a book written by Samuel Ley Thorne in 1875. It is a memoir of his life as a printer and publisher in the mid-19th century. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of Thorne's career. Thorne recounts his experiences as an apprentice in a printing office, his struggles to establish his own business, and his eventual success as a publisher of books and periodicals. He also discusses the challenges he faced in the rapidly changing world of printing technology and the impact of industrialization on the printing industry. Throughout the book, Thorne provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a printer in the Victorian era, including the long hours, the physical labor, and the camaraderie among printers. He also offers insights into the social and cultural context of his time, including the rise of literacy, the growth of the middle class, and the changing attitudes towards print media. Overall, Samuel Thorne, Printer is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the evolution of the printing industry and its role in shaping modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
