Notes

• After arguing and breaking with Raithby, Lawrence & Co. over The British Printer, Robert Hilton was ordered by a judge not to publish any similar/competing journal for 10 years and within 100 miles of Leicester or London. Hilton violated this injunction, publishing The British Art Printer and Lithographer in January/February 1895. Raithby, Lawrence & Co. took Hilton back to court, won, and got another stay. But Hilton sneaked out a second number (backdated to March/April), changing the title to The Art Printer and Lithographer. Hilton got out two more numbers (May/June and July/August) before he was forced to shut down. All of this is recounted in Young (pp. 39-41) and "Raithby, Lawrence & Co. v. Hilton" (p. 202)
