Hide Profile

Publisher. Tuer went to London in 1856 with the idea of becoming a doctor but was soon dissuaded of that profession and turned to a merchant's office. About 1862 he set up as a wholesale stationer and was joined the following year by Abraham Field, thus establishing the firm of Field and Tuer. They published their first book in the 1870s with Tuer as author as well as publisher. Thereafter the firm became known for its illustrated books and particularly for reprints of old children's books. A year after Field's death in 1891, Tuer formed a limited company, owning most of the shares himself, and the imprint of Field and Tuer was changed to that of The Leadenhall Press.
