Ballantyne Press

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ballantyne Press was founded in 1799 by James Ballantyne and his brother John Ballantyne.[1] James was particularly noted for his friendship with Sir Walter Scott who partially financed the printer after he moved his press to Edinburgh in 1803.[2]
