William and Dinah Nuthead: Maryland’s First Printers
November 10 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Free
Before Jonas and Anne Catharine Hoof Green, there was William and Dinah Nuthead, Maryland’s first printing duo. William Nuthead was the first printer in Maryland and the first to operate a press in Virginia. He established his business in St. Mary’s City in 1685 after being barred from printing in Virginia by the government. Following his death in 1695, his widow Dinah Nuthead took over the business and became the first licensed female printer in the American colonies. Join Rod Cofield as he discusses his research into their lives that led to his Maryland Historical Magazine article, “Much Ado about Nuthead.”
