If you go to either the library of the Paul Mellon Centre for British Art in Bloomsbury (London) or the Prints&Drawings Department in the British Museum nearby you can see a collection of photocopies of catalogues issued by 17th and 18th century London printsellers.

Unfortunately I don’t have a full transcription on my computer to show you, but maybe these notes will help until you can get hold of the real thing. (Note: See Antony Griffiths’ article “A Checklist of Catalogues of British Print Publishers c.1650-1830,” Print Quarterly, 1 (1984), for the locations of the original catalogues)

(In these personal notes I divided the products listed in the catalogues into categories such as books, copybooks etc… then listed them under each publisher’s name. Some parts of these notes may be too muddled for you to understand.)
