EDITORS COMMENTS
This page from The Sketch magazine, dated September 16, 1899, showcases a remarkable collection of leading London publishers of the era. The top row features three esteemed gentlemen: Mr. T. Norton Longman, Mr. C.J. Longman, and Mr. Frederick Macmillan. The Longman brothers, hailing from Longman, Green, Longman, Roberts & Green, were renowned for their extensive publishing catalog, while Macmillan's eponymous company was a major player in the literary world. Moving to the middle row, we encounter two distinguished figures: Mrs. Reginald J. Smith Q.C, representing Messrs. Smith, Elder & Co, and Mr. Edward Marston of Messrs. Sampson Low, Marston and Co. Mrs. Smith's presence as a woman in a male-dominated industry is noteworthy, and her inclusion in this esteemed list speaks volumes about her achievements. Marston's publishing house was known for its high-quality literary output, including works by authors like Rudyard Kipling and H.G. Wells. The bottom row introduces us to three more influential figures: Mr. Harris Miles of Messrs. Simpkin, Marshall & Co, Mr. Andrew Chatto, and Mr. H. Arthur Doubleday of Messrs Constable and Co. Simpkin, Marshall & Co was a prolific publisher of religious and educational texts, while Constable and Co was known for its diverse range of publications, from fiction to non-fiction. This image offers a glimpse into the world of London publishing in 1899, showcasing the faces of the men and woman who shaped the literary landscape of the time. Their legacies continue to influence the publishing industry today, making this page a valuable historical artifact.
