    Prints are from the late 1890's possibly earlier-
    London print and playing-card publisher, specialising in topographical prints on pictorial note paper; produced over 7000 topographical prints which were numbered on the plate. William Frederick Rock (1802-90), son of William Henry Rock of Barnstaple, Devon; began his career working in a bank, in the 1820's lodging with Thomas De La Rue in whose stationer's
    business he soon became a partner - "De La Rue, Cornish & Rock"; 1833, set up in business with his brother Henry, their other brother Richard joining them soon after; by 1845 they had been joined by John Payne (as Rock Brothers & Payne) who married their sister, Prudence in 1851 (she and another sister, Ann, ran a starionery shop in Greenwich). William Rock retired in 1883, having outlived his partners, and the extremely successful firm was taken over by John Dickinson who retained the business name.
