SNOWDON (GEORGE), printer in London, 1606-8. Son of Robert Snowdon of Kirk Ledam, York. Apprentice to Robert Robinson { ROBINSON, Robert ( - 1597) ‹ LBT 08395 › }, stationer of London, for seven years from April 27th, 1590, and became a freeman of the Company on May 11th, 1597 [Arber, ii. 168, 718]. In 1606 he was joined with a relative, Lionel Snowdon { SNODON, Lionel ( - 1616) ‹ LBT 08347 › }. Amongst the books they printed were William Covell's Brief answer unto certaine reasons, etc., and William Bucanus' Institutions of Christian Religion. In 1608 they transferred their business to Nicholas Okes { OAKES, Nicholas ‹ LBT 07947 › }, and it was at this printing house that Nathaniel Butter's { BUTTER, Nathaniel (bap. 1583 - 1664) ‹ LBT 08120 › } "Pide Bull" edition of Shakespeare's King Lear was printed in that year.
