Leonard Publishing Company, Albany

The Leonard Publishing Company was an Albany based firm that was a bookseller, publisher, printer and engraver. It was active in the 1890's. In the mid-1890's the firm was publishing periodicals (Everybody's Magazine, Little Folks' Paper, etc.), books, and sheet music.
