About Leadenhall Press
The Leadenhall Press was a printer and publisher in London. Founded by Andrew White Tuer (1838–1900), it originated as the publishing arm of the Field & Tuer partnership in London. This development followed their 1868 relocation to 50 Leadenhall Street. Initially founded in 1862, the firm began as job printers, stationers, and manufacturers when Tuer teamed up with Abraham Field (1830–1891), known for producing registers and log books. A significant early achievement was Tuer's invention of Stickphast Paste, a vegetable-based adhesive. It rapidly became a staple in offices, and its production continued under various owners well into the mid-20th century. Profits from this and other inventions allowed Tuer, to pursue his publishing ambitions.
