Robert Thorne (typographer)

Robert Thorne (1754–1820)^[1] was a British typographer and type founder.

In 1794, Thorne acquired the type foundry of the late Thomas Cottrell based in Nevil's Court, London, and moved it to 11 Barbican, and then in 1802 to a former brewery in Fann Street, and renamed it the Fann Street Foundry. On his death in 1820, the business was bought by William Thorowgood.^[1]
