About the author

Dick & Fitzgerald was a New York publishing firm founded by William Brisbane Dick (1827–1901) and Lawrence R. Fitzgerald (1826–1881). Active in the 19th century, the company was based in New York City, with its address listed at one time as 18 Ann Street.

The firm became known for publishing accessible, popular books rather than highbrow literary editions. Sources describe its list as including music books and a wide variety of practical or recreational titles, and surviving catalogs show subjects such as games, etiquette, cooking, amusements, and self-improvement.

Because Dick & Fitzgerald was a publishing partnership rather than a single author, there does not appear to be one clear portrait image that fits as an author photo. For that reason, no profile image is included here.
