weitere InformationThe London bindery of William Turner Morrell was established in 1861 as successor to the firm begun by Francis Bedford, who, in turn, had taken over the famous bindery of Charles Lewis, at 17 Frith Street, Soho.
Morrell’s son, William John Morrell (London, 20/11/1865 - Portsmouth, 16/11/1957), took over the management in 1887 after his father’s death, and subsequently brought his brother John Morrell into partnership. In 1891 an observer noted that W.J. & J. Morrell, at that time employing 50 people, preferred to bind all their work by hand and the gilding and the marbling of both paper and leathers was also done onsite. A speciality for which they were known were bindings in the Roger Payne style, although this firm was also known for their own creative designs.
