This collection contains ephemera, correspondence, and research files from and/or related to the Leadenhall Press collection compiled by Matthew Young in his research for his book Field & Tuer, The Leadenhall Press: A Checklist.

Andrew White Tuer, the founder of the Leadenhall Press, was born in 1838 in Sunderland, England. He originally trained to be a doctor and worked briefly at a London hospital, before deciding to turn his amateur experience with printing into his career. He founded the firm Field and Tuer around 1862 with already established printer and stationer Abraham Field, and they produced books and other publications heavily influenced by Tuer's antiquarian interests in design and typography. They operated the Leadenhall Press out of 50 Leadenhall Street, London for nearly 40 years and became well-known for their fascimile editions of popular 18th-century books, especially those for children.
