Sarah Griffin
fl. 1652 - 1673Printer, publisher and booksellerEurope · 1652Most named place: London
Sarah Griffin was a printer, publisher and bookseller in 17th century London. Her publishing house was founded in 1590, and from 1634 to 1643 it was run by her mother-in-law Anne Griffin. Anne gradually transferred the business to her son Edward, but he died in 1652 and the business was continued by Sarah.
Sarah carried on the family business for over twenty years and in 1671 she began printing jointly with her son Bennett. Records of the Stationers' Company (which held the monopoly over the publishing industry) during the late 1660s and early 1670s suggests that her work was held in high regard. She appears in the records of the Stationers' Company until 1673.
