William Thomas Pike

William Thomas Pike (26 January 1838 – 22 April 1924) was an English publisher, printer, editor and journalist. He is known for his publication of ''Pike's New Century Series'' of the Edwardian era. These are large volumes containing topographies of many of the counties of England and Ireland, and photographic portraits and biographies of many county inhabitants, from accountants and businessmen to bishops and aristocrats, but only rarely including women.

Pike had a modest background, beginning as an errand boy and tailor. His career as publisher, printer and editor was interrupted by imprisonment for embezzlement, but as a newspaperman he had friends. Following his release from jail he quickly revived his career, and continued to publish for many more years. Provided by Wikipedia
