Biography

'In 1859 [Alfred Henry] Massina joined with William Clarson, Joseph Shallard and Joseph T. Gibb to form the printing firm of Clarson, Shallard & Co. In 1866 Clarson and Gibb went to Sydney and the firm became Clarson, Massina & Co. Massina's son, Alfred Lionel, was admitted to partnership in 1868. After Shallard withdrew his financial interest in 1876 Richard John Foster and William Smith Mitchell were admitted as partners and the firm reconstructed as A. H. Massina & Co., which is still its name.' [ADB] In Sydney Joseph Shallard and Joseph Thomas Burton Gibbs traded as Gibbs, Shallard & Co from 1866 and became a leading printer and publisher in that city. Their publications included 'Illustrated Sydney News'.
