SHAW (GEORGE), printer in London, 1595-8. Son of Thomas Shaw, cordwainer of London. Apprentice for eight years from November 25th, 1577, to Roger Ward { WARDE, Roger ( - 1598) ‹ LBT 08076 › }, hut turned over to Henry Denham { DENHAM, Henry ‹ LBT 08578 › } on December 1st, 1579, and again to Henry Middleton { MIDDLETON, Henry ( - 1587) ‹ LBT 08100 › } on February 3rd, 1583/4 [Arber, ii. 121]. George Shaw became a freeman on January 31st, 1585/6, and made his first book entry in the Registers on July 17th, 1595 [Arber, ii. 696; iii. 45]. He appears to have dealt chiefly in ballads and ephemeral literature and was for some time associated with William Blackwall { BLACKWALL, William ‹ LBT 08619 › }. The writings of William Vaughan, published in 1598, bear the imprint, "Apud Georgium Shaw typographum," but the position of his printing house is unknown.
