Author Biography CHARLES GIBBON (1843-1890) Born on the Isle of Man, but raised in Scotland, Charles Gibbon is little known today, but was popular in the 19th century.  By 1864 he had launched his writing career with the three-volume Dangerous Connexions.  Chiefly known for his “charming” stories and romances, Charles Gibbon is represented by 16 titles in the Athenaeum’s rare book collection, all published by Chatto & Windus. About the Publisher CHATTO & WINDUS Most of the titles found in the Athenæum’s Yellowbacks collection were published by Chatto & Windus, a company with an office in the Piccadilly section of London.  The business had originated with John Camden Hotten (1832-1870), whose small bookshop began in Piccadilly in the 1850s.  After Hotten’s death Andrew Chatto, a junior partner, purchased the business and added W. E. Windus, a poet, as a partners.  Chatto & Windus was formally launched around November 1, 1873 and began yellowback publishing in 1877; among their first titles were books by Wilkie Collins, who remained a popular yellowback author.  Although Chatto & Windus had mostly finished with publishing new yellowback titles by 1899, the publisher continued to re-issue old titles.  Like other Yellowback publishers Chatto & Windus advertised on both the back cover and the flyleaves, often including lists of their own book titles.   Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
