T N Foulis was a publishing company founded in Edinburgh in 1904, which continued to publish books until 1925. The company's books are characterised by high production values, using expensive watermarked paper and full colour tipped-in plates. As the Foulis catalogue for 1913 proudly states: "Each Foulis book is the particular outcome of much personal thought and consideration. The more mechanical methods of modern publishing, which pours books out wholesale, bound indiscriminately or with a featureless uniformity, have no attraction for Mr Foulis and his fellow craftsmen." The founder, Thomas Noble Foulis, died in obscurity in Essex following the failure of his company.
