Thomas Snodham

He printed works by well-known composers such as William Byrd, John Dowland, and Orlando Gibbons.

He printed his first book the following year, King James his entertainment at Theobalds, which was sold from East's premises.

[a] When East died in 1608, he left a will making clear that he wanted Snodham to take over his business, while at the same time he made provision for the financial security of his widow Lucretia.

[3] Snodham acquired East's printing equipment and worked with some of the same composers such as John Wilbye.

In 1612, Snodham printed the first edition of Ben Jonson's play The Alchemist, which had been premiered in 1610 by the King's Men.
