Fairburn, John (sold)
John Fairburn (fl. c. 1782 - 1851) was a British printer and publisher based in London that specialized in works dealing with history, current events, and politics, including maps, broadsides, and caricatures. Founded by John Fairburn, Sr., the firm was later passed on to his son John Fairburn, Jr. They were known for inexpensive 'sixpenny chapbooks' that were colorful and lurid, intended for the masses rather than the elite. Collectively, these works reflected the Fairburns' liberal values, including equality of the sexes, fair treatment for servants and workers, and abolitionism.
