Catherine Lintot

Catherine Lintot (1733–1816), later Catherine Fletcher, Lady Fletcher, printer, born by Temple Bar, London, was the only surviving child of Henry (1703–1758)[2] and Elizabeth Lintot (née Aubrey, died 1734).

She came from a family of printers and her grandfather, Bernard Lintot (1675–1736),[3] had the dubious distinction of being twice satirized by Alexander Pope.

The Lintot firm held the patent as the king's legal printer[4] and published texts by jurists Edward Coke, Anthony Fitzherbert, Giles Jacob, and Matthew Hale and others.

When Richardson died in 1761, Lintot continued the business for a year in partnership with his widow, Elizabeth, after which the two sold the patent to Henry Woodfall and William Strahan.

[4] On 20 October 1768 Lintot married Captain Henry Fletcher (1727–1807) of Ashley Park, Walton-on-Thames and long-time director at the East India Company.
