Fitzroy Carrington (1869–1954) was an American editor, born at Surbiton, Surrey, England. His high school education was at Victoria College, Jersey, and he came to the United States in 1886. He obtained an honorary College degree in the USA shortly before teaching at Harvard. His brother was the famed writer and psychic researcher Hereward Carrington. For 21 years (1892–1913) he was identified with Frederick Keppel & Co. (New York) dealers in etchings and engravings, being a member of the firm after 1899. During this period he made a specialty of selecting, arranging, and writing introductions for artistic editions of such works as Dante's ''New Life; The Queen's Garland'' (Elizabethan verse); Rossetti's ''Pictures and Poems''; William Morris's ''The Doom of King Acristus; The King's Lyrics'' (1899); ''The Shepherd's Pipes'' (1903); ''The Pilgrim's Staff'' (1906). In 1911, the year before publishing ''Prints and their Makers'', he had undertaken the editorship of ''The Print Collector’s Quarterly'', a journal unique in the United States. He continued to be editor after 1913, although then giving up his business interests to become lecturer on the history and principles of engraving, at Harvard University, and appointed curator of prints at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 1912.〔(G., Resignation of Mr. FitzRoy Carrington, Curator of the Department of Prints (December 1, 1921), Museum of Fine Arts Bulletin, Volume 19, p71. ) retrieved 1/21/2014〕 While working at Harvard and the Museum of Fine Arts, He resided in Belmont, Massachusetts,〔Deed of Sale from Nellie L McArdle to Fitz Roy Carrington, 10 December 1912, Southern Middlesex County, Massachusetts Deed Book 3749, page 317.
