George Woodfall

George Woodfall (1767–1844) was an English printer.

Life The son of Henry Sampson Woodfall, he was his father's partner in the printing business until December 1793, when his father retired. George Woodfall later moved to Angel Court, Snow Hill, where he carried on with his business until 1840, when his eldest son, Henry Dick Woodfall, fifth in a line of printers, became his partner.

When Friedrich König, inventor of the steam printing-press, was in London in 1806, Thomas Bensley brought his fellow printers, Woodfall and Richard Taylor, into a consortium to develop a press. Woodfall, however, failed to see the potential.
