Ellen “Nelly” G. Woolrich and sister Sofita Woolrich were American binders employed at 5 Bloomsbury Square during the height of their careers. During their residence at Bloomsbury Square, they presented at the Art and Crafts Exhibition Society in 1903, and again in 1904 at Antwerp. Years later, the Woolrich sisters would still be prominent presenters at the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society in 1916, a luminous accomplishment in light of the decline in bookbinding with the inception of the First World War. Ellen Woolrich's training in the art of bookbinding is historically indeterminable; she collaborated closely with Cockerell, Sangorski, and Sutcliffe, all of from whom she potentially derived her craft. The design genius of Ellen and Sofita Woolrich was manifested by the bookbinding talents of George Fisher, a binder and evening lecturer in bookbinding studies at the Camden School of Art in London. The business partnership of the Woolrich sisters and George Fisher lasted over a decade (Tidcombe, 1996).
