Richard Marsh, New York
I have no information about this New York firm. It was a publisher, bookseller and stationer in New York City between about 1851 and 1857. It also produced valentines. The company went out of business in 1857.
Addresses:
374 Pearl Street 1851-1855
138 William Street 1856
Besides the one known juvenile series it also published a set of Captain Marryat titles.
"Marsh's New Picture Books" included at least nine titles. All were
anonymously written with the exception of Jack and the Bean Stalk. The
exact year of publication is unknown but it had to be between 1851 and
1856.
