Crosby Lockwood and Son

Crosby Lockwood and Son was a British publishing house rather than a single author. Historical sources connect the firm with 7 Stationers' Hall Court, London, and later references also place it in Broadway, Westminster and on Ludgate Hill.

The business is closely tied to Crosby Lockwood, whose 1895 obituary described him as well known in publishing and bookselling, especially for engineering and scientific works. That focus fits the many surviving books issued by the firm, including manuals and reference works on subjects such as mechanical engineering, railways, boilers, and other practical trades.

For an audiobook or library listing, it usually makes sense to treat Crosby Lockwood and Son as the publisher or imprint behind technical nonfiction, not as an individual writer. Because this is a company name and not a person, a portrait image is not really applicable here.
