About the author
Based in New York City, Trow's Printing and Bookbinding Company was a printing and publishing firm associated with John Fowler Trow (1810–1886), a printer and publisher whose name became well known in the city's book and directory trades.
Library of Congress records identify the company as the firm of John F. Trow, located at 205–213 East 12th Street in New York, and distinguish it from his separate Trow City Directory Company. That helps place the company not just as a publisher name on old title pages, but as part of a larger printing operation in the city.
Today, the company is mainly encountered through surviving books and trade publications, including works on typography and book production. For readers interested in publishing history, its name offers a glimpse into the world of industrial-era American printing, when firms like this connected craftsmanship, commerce, and the spread of printed knowledge.
