Description |
Charles Y. Andrews, a Philadelphia engraver, lithographer and printer was born in Pennsylvania ca. 1841 to German immigrants,
piano maker Joel Andrews (b. ca. 1808), and Mary (b. ca. 1815). The eldest of three, his siblings were Emily (b. 1843) and
Adolphus (b. 1846). Active in Philadelphia from about 1860 to 1900, Andrews worked for Breuker & Kessler, with fellow lithographers
Otto Wynkoop, and William W. Murchison at 112 South Seventh Street in 1868. Other than this brief employment association,
little is known about Andrews' printing career.

he died approximately ten years later.
