Harrison of Paris was a publishing house originally founded in Paris in 1930 by Monroe Wheeler and Barbara Harrison Wescott.[1]
Origins
In the 1920s Monroe Wheeler bought a small print press he named Manikin. Partnering with Barbara Harrison Wescott in 1930 they founded Harrison of Paris and specialized in limited-edition books, publishing in total 13 books, two of which by Glenway Wescott, Wheeler's longtime partner and Harrison's brother-in-law. Harrison of Paris moved to New York City in 1934, the same year it stopped production.[1]
