Cheape and good husbandry

This popular "how-to" text on animal husbandry and other household uses was sold by Hannah Sawbridge (fl. 1682-86), the widow of George Sawbridge the elder (fl. 1647-81). Sawbridge was a partner in the King's Printing House, treasurer of the Company of Stationers for much of his life, and Master of the Company in 1675. He left behind a good deal of wealth to his wife, and was known as one of the greatest booksellers in England at the time. Hannah continued the (quite lucrative) printing business until his son took over.

Markham, Gervase

Cheap and good husbandry : for the well-ordering of all beasts and fowls and for the general cure of their diseases ... Together with the use and profit of bees, the manner of fish-ponds, and the taking of all sorts of fish ...

1683

Printed by T.B. for Hannah Sawbridge, at the Bible o Ludgate-Hill
