Lumsden and Son is a Scottish engraving and publishing firm founded in 1783 by James Lumsden, most known for its short runs of high quality printings of children's books. The firm also made bookbinders' finishing tools. The founder James Lumsden retired in 1810 and the business passed to his son, also James Lumsden (1778-1856), who adapted its speciality to stationery. When he retired in 1852, the company was taken over by his son (also named) James Lumsden (1808-1879). The majority of books produced by them were sold to affluent families in Scotland and Northern England, with their average book price of sixpence putting them beyond affordability for the average family. The firm was one of the earliest to engage in the practice of releasing the same book under multiple-covers to increase sales; this practice has now meant that books published by Lumsden are highly collectible." - See Wikipedia .
