BiographyHistory

The publishing imprint Will Andrade belonged to William Charles Andrade (1868-1939), who owned bookshops in Melbourne and Sydney in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Will Andrade was a publisher on a small scale, from the 1920s concurrently in Sydney and Melbourne, and his publishing output reflected his bookshops' mix of socialism, magic and theatre. He published a number of plays in 'Andrades Acting Editions'.

Notes

  • Andrade publishing operations were conducted out of his Melbourne book and theatrical supplies shop. The first shop was located at 201 Bourke Street. He opened his Sydney business at 32 Rawson Place in 1920 and two years later relocated the Melbourne shop to 52 Swanson Street. The Melbourne shop was managed by his son, Bill, between 1936 and 1939. Following Will Andrade's death his widow Hilda sold the Melbourne operations to Allan and Co. She was subsequently employed to manage the store by its new owner. Through her association with the shop it continued to be known as Will Andrade for many years. The Sydney store, and the rights to the name Will Andrade, were acquired by magician and long-time employee Harry Job. He subsequently became known professionally as Will Andrade.
