Elizabeth Allde
¶Biographical Information
There is little information on Elizabeth Allde’s personal life. She was married to Edward Allde, who inherited printing rights from his father, John Allde. A variety of sources indicate that Elizabeth had two children, including a son or son in law named Richard Oulton, who inherited her printing rights after her death.1 She also had another son named Ralph Joyner, likely from a previous marriage (BBTI 582), and multiple stepchildren from Edward’s previous marriage (Gadd). Her apprentices included William Taylor, Gregory Dexter, and one of her stepsons, Jonathan Allde (BBTI 582; Gadd).
¶Printing Locations
The work of Elizabeth’s husband, Edward, indicates that he lived at several residences over a number of years:
-
1597:
Aldersgate streete ouer-against the pump
(STC 3299) -
1604-1612:
Lambard-Hill neere Old-Fish-Streete
(STC 3489a; STC 18584) -
1614:
dwelling neare Christ Church
(STC 3491),Little Saint Bartholomewes neer Christ Church
(STC 5740),house ioining to Christ Church
(STC 26060) -
1629-1634: location listed above (STC 20924; STC 5209)2
¶Print Output
A search of the English Short Title Catalogue shows that Elizabeth printed mostly quartos and octavos, but also a few folios and broadsides. She mostly
printed books for entertainment purposes, though they often had ornate woodcut designs,
which indicates they may have been more expensive. Due to a patent belonging to her
husband, Elizabeth had control over the production of all printed songs other than ballads, and of ruled
music paper until 1633 (Gadd). Though Elizabeth avoided scandal in her short printing career, her husband faced criminal charges
for some of his work including imprisonment, suspension, and defacement of his press
(Gadd).
Elizabeth’s notable prints include Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay (STC 12268), work for the Company of Stationers (STC 490.5; STC 490.6; STC 411; STC 514), Honest Whore, Part 2 (STC 6506), and visitation articles for the Church of England (STC 10264; STC 10276.3).

¶Scholarship
There is virtually no scholarship on Elizabeth Allde specifically. Most information about her has been extracted from articles about other
printers and publishers who associated with her, or from articles about her husband
Edward.
Notes
- The majority of sources state that Elizabeth died in 1636, including the STC, however, the English Short Title Catalogue lists that she assisted on two prints, one in 1637 (STC 22808) and one in 1640 (STC 21380). The British Book Trade Index states she was active until 1640. (AG)↑
- Since there is no information on when Elizabeth and Edward married, it is unclear whether Elizabeth resided with Edward in homes other than the one stated in her work. (AG)↑
