Biographical History
Samuel Nelson Dickinson (1801-1848) was a printer and type founder in Boston during the 1830s and 1840s. The Boston directories from 1830 to 1845 list Dickinson as a printer at 52 Washington St. The 1846 directory lists a printing firm called S.N. Dickinson & Co. and a Type & Stereotype Foundry, which belonged to that company. At this time, Charles C. P. Moody was Dickinson's junior partner in business. In the 1847 directory Dickinson is listed as a printer but his company is called Dickinson Type & Stereotype Foundry. In 1848 he is listed as a type founder at 4 Wilson Lane with the name of his foundry remaining the same as it was the year before. In mid-1848 Dickinson was forced by poor health to sell his business and he died later that year. His business was bought by Sewall Phelps, a printer, and Michael Dalton, a type founder. The 1849 directory lists their business as Dickinson Type Foundry, Phelps & Dalton. This firm was later to be called Dickinson Type Foundry, Phelps, Dalton & Co. (See the order book and the font book of Phelps, Dalton & Co.).
