History
The origins of the company can be traced back to William Pickering (1796–1854) who set up as an antiquarian bookseller and publisher in 1820. After William Pickering’s death, the business was carried on by his son, Basil Montagu Pickering.[8] On his death, in 1878, it was purchased by Andrew Chatto (1841–1913), one of the founding partners of Chatto and Windus.[9][10] By the early twentieth century Pickering & Chatto was solely concerned with antiquarian book selling.[11][12] Lord William Rees-Mogg bought Pickering & Chatto in 1981.[13][14] In 1983 he re-established Pickering & Chatto (Publishers) Limited as an independent publishing house, serving as chairman and proprietor.[15][16] In 1993 the antiquarian bookselling business became an entirely separate enterprise and there is now no connection between the two companies.[17] Pickering & Chatto was based in Bloomsbury, London, United Kingdom[18] until March, 2015, when it was acquired by the Taylor & Francis Group and became an imprint of Routledge.[19][20]
