Introduction of the Columbian Press to England
- When
- 1817
- Where
- England
In 1817 Clymer took his press to England, where it was immediately well received; he later relocated there and became a leading European press supplier.
Because most American printers could not afford his $400 asking price, Clymer took his press to England in 1817, where it was immediately well received and competed in the European market with the Stanhope press, and later with the Albion press. After relocating to England because of better market conditions, Clymer became one of the principal developers and suppliers of printing presses in Europe and spent the rest of his life there.
