William Bowyer (1663–1737)
- William Bowyer (1663–1737)
William Bowyer (1663 - December 27, 1737), English printer, was apprenticed to a printer in 1679, made a liveryman of The Stationers' and Newspaper Makers' Company in 1700, and nominated as one of the twenty printers allowed by the Star Chamber.
He was burned out in the great fire of 1712, but his loss was partly made good by the subscription of friends and fellow craftsmen, as recorded on a tablet in Stationers' Hall, and in 1713 he returned to his Whitefriars shop and became the leading printer of his day. His son William Bowyer took over the printing business and became known as "the learned printer."
