Lydia Bailey (printer)
Lydia Bailey (February 1, 1779 – February 21, 1869) was a printer in Philadelphia from 1808 to 1861.
== Early life ==
Lydia Bailey was born Lydia Steele in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Captain William Steele and Elizabeth Bailey. The Steeles were a prosperous Lancaster family; William, his father, and his brothers all served with distinction in the American Revolution. The brothers Steele established a paper mill in Lancaster County after the war and became important players in Philadelphia politics. Lydia Bailey’s mother, Elizabeth Steele, was herself born a Bailey, the sister of the prominent Revolutionary-era printers, Jacob and Francis Bailey. Francis Bailey is now recognized as one of the United States' first type-founders and an official printer for Congress and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
In the spring of 1797 Lydia Steele married her cousin, Robert Bailey, who was managing his father Francis's Philadelphia printing office at the time; they had four children. She worked alongside her husband in his struggling efforts to run a successful printing enterprise until his death in 1808. Contemporary newspapers reported that Bailey was left impoverished with her family to support, but she was able to begin her career by immediately paying off her husband's debts thanks to the important social network of which she was a part. Utilizing the connections already established by her husband and his extended family, not to mention her own blood relatives, she transformed her husband's floundering business into one of the busiest printing establishments in 19th century Philadelphia.
