Reference excerpt

The history of printing in Ipswich, Suffolk dates back to the sixteenth century. The oldest extant printed book published in Ipswich is an edition of Historia Evangelica by Juvencus published in 1534. However this book was printed in Antwerp. In 1547 and 1548, there was a sudden increase in printing in Ipswich. For many years it was thought that this was the work of three printers, but more recent research has indicated there were but two, the third being a false imprint for books printed in continental Europe.

Reginald Oliver The earliest record of a "stationer", i.e. someone involved in the various activities of publishing, printing, bookbinding as well as the sale of books and writing materials is that of Reginald Oliver. In the oldest extant book which claimed Ipswich as its place of publication in 1534 includes the sentence "Vxneunt Gypsuici in foro piscario, per Reginaldum Oliuerium" (Sold at Ipswich in the Fish Market by Reginald Oliver). However this book was not printed in Ipswich but rather by Joannes Grapheus of Antwerp. Oliver was himself Dutch, originating in Friesland. But he settled in Ipswich and became a man of substance through his stationery business, which was later carried on by Joyce Oliver.

Anthony Scoloker Anthony Scoloker established the first printing press in Ipswich in 1548. He had previously been a partner of William Seres in London, but came to Ipswich at the invitation of Richard Argentine.

John Bagnall Following his arrival in Ipswich in 1720, John Bagnall established a printing business and founded the first paper in Ipswich, the Ipswich Journal.

W. S. Cowell

This company traces its origins in Ipswich back to 1818 when Abraham Kersey Cowell set up his son, Samuel Cowell, as a printer at No.10, The Buttermarket, Ipswich.

Smiths Suitall This business was founded by Sarah Smith as stationers located at 53 Butter Market in 1880. She was joined by her son, Arthur in 1884 and the company was known as S. Smith & Smith.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with History of printing in Ipswich

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what History of printing in Ipswich claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to History of printing in Ipswich before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about History of printing in Ipswich ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of History of printing in Ipswich

In technology and industry
Engineering practice reuses History of printing in Ipswich in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
