Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Glasers, William C. D and Lillian Gerard ran a mid-twentieth century printing business on Long Island. William Glaser, later joined by his wife Lillian, a longtime assistant to F. N. Doubleday, founded the business. The prevailing concern of the Glasers was to produce top quality reproductions in print for the artists with whom they worked.
