- Biography
- Print publisher, firm founded by William Suttaby, who later took in partners (hence the changing names of the firm as the partners changed). Suttaby specialised in series; he published first in his own name from c.1804 a 'miniature library', which undercut John Sharpe's 'Cabinet' series. In 1808 he bought a share in Sharpe's series of reprints of British classics, which he continued into the 1820s jointly with Sharpe. In the BM the loose impressions from the Suttaby and Sharpe publications are being collected together in post-binders, arranged by author regardless of the series in which they were originally published (a matter that is far from easy to establish).
The names of R & A Suttaby are on an almanac in 1853.
