About the author
Founded by George Bell in 1839, George Bell & Sons was an English publishing house based in London. It began as an educational bookseller and later became well known for publishing classics, children's books, and titles on art, architecture, and archaeology.
The firm grew in reputation during the 19th century, especially after Bell's partnership with F. R. Daldy and the later change to the George Bell & Sons name. Its lists were wide-ranging but had a strong scholarly and cultural flavor, making the company a familiar name to generations of readers, students, and collectors.
George Bell & Sons continued publishing well into the 20th century, with its history commonly dated from 1839 to 1986. A suitable verified portrait image for the company itself was not clearly available from the sources reviewed, so no profile image is included.
