History
William Strahan established a printing house in London in 1739 and by 1769 had a share in both the King's Printing House and the Law Printing House. George Edward Eyre and Andrew Spottiswoode were printers to the Queen's most excellent majesty for Her Majesty's Stationery Office in 1845. Their sons subsequently ran the business, which would eventually be incorporated as a publishing house in 1929. It merged with Methuen and Co in the 1970s.
