Jane Bell was a bookseller and printer in London form 1650 to 1659. She succeeded Moses Bell and was probably his widow. During this period family connections were an essential means for women to enter the printing and bookselling trade. Most of the type used by Bell was old and the books she printed were mainly popular literature, such as the Amadis de Gaul and Reynard the Fox. |
