Bulfinch has published lavish books by prominent photographers, including Irving Penn, Herb Ritts, Robert Mapplethorpe, Yousaf Karsh, Joyce Tenneson, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, as well as critically acclaimed books on interior design, architecture, pop culture, and the arts. Bulfinch was integrated into Little, Brown and Company in 2006.
The Bulfinch name and logo continue to appear on many reprinted classic titles.
Bulfinch Press is an imprint of Little, Brown and Company devoted to high-quality illustrated books. It evolved out of the New York Graphic Society, a preeminent publisher and distributor of fine art books that got its start in 1958 with the publication of The Complete Letters of Vincent van Gogh, a three-volume collection that was an instant sensation and is still in print today as a Bulfinch boxed set. New York Graphic Society became part of Little, Brown in 1974 and in 1989 was renamed Bulfinch Press after the early American architect and statesman Charles Bulfinch, whose monument stands in the shadow of Boston’s State House and is rendered in the Bulfinch Press logo.
