Item description from seller

8.5 x 11 inches. hardcover. 300 pages. This register collects, from annual city directories, about 5,000 names and 50,000 addresses of individuals and firms working in New York in the book trades and graphic arts areas during the period 1821-1842. It continues George L. McKay's similar work, published by the New York Public Library in 1942, which collected the names of craftsmen and artisans to 1820. The recorded occupations, addresses, firm names and other dated information provide help in dating undated books, papers and pictures, and in identifying anonymous printers, publishers artists and the like. The Register also provides a record of those who were engaged in more than 125 interconnected trades and professions, including calligraphers, compositors, editors, literary agents, map colorers, paper rulers, stereotypers, tract agents, wood engravers and many others. Though the bulk of the Register lists those active in printing, publishing and the distribution of books, the scope extends to all the graphic arts. The Register's listings linked to specific occupations are also brought together in one or more of 100 entries in an Index of Occupations. Institutions - libraries, museums, societies, book depositories, etc. - and periodicals are separately listed as well.…
