Sayer & Bennett

Also known as: Sayer & Bennett; primary name: Sayer & Bennett
Details: unknown; publisher/printer; British
Other dates: 1774-1786
Address: 53 Fleet Street, London
Biography: Partnership of the print-publishers Robert Sayer and his assistant John Bennett (qv). Although Bennett ceased working for the partnership after his breakdown, it was not formally dissolved until 1786, and the joint imprint is still found on plates in early 1786. For the history of the Sayer firm, see entry for Robert Sayer. The business traded under a series of names each of which has a separate entry on the Biographical Authority; the name entered in a catalogue entry should correspond with that given on a print.
