Ticknor and Company
A short-lived but notable Boston publisher, this late-19th-century firm carried forward part of the old Ticknor literary tradition. Its name appears on books from the 1880s, during a brief chapter between J. R. Osgood & Co. and Houghton, Mifflin.

About the author
Ticknor and Company was a Boston publishing house active from about 1885 to 1889. Sources describe it as a successor to the second J. R. Osgood & Co., with Benjamin Holt Ticknor taking over the business under the new name.
Although the firm itself was brief-lived, it was tied to a much larger publishing story. The Ticknor name reaches back to the famous 19th-century Boston house Ticknor and Fields, which published major American writers and helped shape literary culture around the Old Corner Bookstore.
By 1889, Ticknor and Company had become part of Houghton, Mifflin and Co. Because it was a company rather than a single author, and I could not confirm a suitable portrait from the sources I checked, no profile image is included.
