The Elston Press was founded by Clarke Conwell in New York in 1900. In 1902, Conwell moved the Press to New Rochelle. Initially, Conwell produced books highly imitative of William Morris's Kelmscott Press books, but Conwell later turned away from Kelmscott-style typefaces and adopted a lighter decorative style. The decorated borders and other design elements of Elston Press books were provided by Clarke Conwell's wife Helen Marguerite O'Kane. The Press closed in 1904.
