In the 1920s Monroe Wheeler bought a small print press he named Manikin. Partnering with Barbara Harrison Wescott in 1930 they founded Harrison of Paris and specialized in limited-edition books, publishing in total 13 books, two of which by Glenway Wescott, Wheeler's longtime partner and Harrison's brother-in-law.
