A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667/Dawson (Gertrude)

by Henry Robert Plomer

DAWSON (GERTRUDE), printer in London, (1) Aldersgate Street; (2) Living in Bartholomew Close the second door from the Half-Moon Tavern's Alley, that goes into Aldersgate-Street, 1657 (1649-61). Successor to John Dawson. She was in possession of most if not all of the latter's initial letters and ornaments, but seems to have had a new fount of l.c. roman cut for her. The second imprint given above is found in a book called Seaman's Secrets, printed in 1657, the title-page of which is found in the Ames collection of title-pages at the British Museum (No. 2646).
