The Anthoensen Press was an American publishing company based in Portland, Maine, in operation between 1875 and 1987. It was nationally renowned for the quality of the books it created.[1] It published works for several educational institutions, including Bowdoin College, Colby College, as well as for the Peabody Essex Museum, the Boston Athenaeum, the Massachusetts Historical Society and the Limited Editions Club.[1] For part of the 20th century, the Press was located at 105 Middle Street in Portland,[2] before moving to 37 Exchange Street (later expanding into 45 Exchange Street),[1] a space occupied by The Thirsty Pig as of 2023.
The Press also published scholarly journals, including The New England Quarterly, The American Neptune, The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America and The American Oxonian.[1]
Its 1937 publication, Ancient North Yarmouth and Yarmouth, Maine 1636–1936: A History, covering three centuries of nearby Yarmouth's past, written by William Hutchinson Rowe, was still in publication as of the early 21st century.[3][4]
