1936 John Cheney and His Descendants, Printers in Banbury Since 1767
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Folding Plates, Illustrated, Limited Edition, Local Imprint, Pleasing Copy, Publishers' Original Binding
Cheney & Sons were an independent, family-run printing firm based in Banbury from 1767 to 2001. They were primarily jobbing printers but they also printed some books. The company was begun in 1767 by John Cheney, the innkeeper of the Unicorn Inn in Banbury. From there it passed through various generations of Cheney until it finally closed down some 234 years later.
This particular work was printed by the family for private circulation out of a strong desire to have a comprehensive record of the family's vocational history.
This work was composed by Christopher Robert Cheney, a medieval historian and a member of the Cheney printing family.
Including 70 plates to the rear, all collated and complete.
