Obsidian House Publishing (OHP) is one of the oldest publishing houses, and it predates more famous houses like [[Faber and Faber]] (founded in 1925) and [[Jonathan Cape]] (1919). OHP was founded in 1856 in London, England, and it continued publishing until 2002. The publishing house has recently been revived by Barbara Jung.

== Origins ==

The firm was originally founded as a bookseller that published and sold serialised stories appearing in magazines like [[Household Words]].

== Role in publishing ==

OHP has played a relatively minor role in publishing by focusing on lesser-known Victorian novels, including the Betty series, as well as more risque novels of the early Twentieth century. More recently it published religious calendars in the USA.
