Richard Mason (Welsh author)

Richard Mason (c. 1816- 26 December 1881) was a printer and author. He is believed to have been a native of Herefordshire, but settled in Tenby, Wales.[1]

In 1850 he took on the publishing and printing of Archaeologia Cambrensis at his sole risk for a share of the fees from subscribers who at that time numbered only 130. In 1855 the Cambrian Archaeological Association assumed the role of publisher but retained Mason as their printer.[2] In 1884 he was also involved with the Cambrian Journal, the journal of the Cambrian Institute, which he printed in Tenby and published in conjunction with Longmans & Co, J. Russell Smith and J. Peterham, all of London.[3]
