Andrew Sowle 

Andrew Sowle (1628-95) was a London Quaker printer. He was apprenticed to a radical woman printer, Ruth Raworth. His three daughters all became Quaker printers, including Elizabeth (she and her husband were among the earliest Quaker printers in Pennsylvania), and Tace, who succeeded her father a head of the Sowle press in 1691. Sowle’s name does not appear on an imprint until 1680, mostly because Quakers were warned not to do that, though he was the official printer of the Quakers in the 1670s, printing the works of Fox, Barclay, and Penn. The Sowle press continued until 1829.
