Kelly & Walsh was a notable
Shanghai-based publisher of English language books, founded in 1876,[1] which currently exists as a small chain of shops in
Hong Kong specializing in art books.
Kelly & Walsh Ltd. was formed in 1876 by combining two Shanghai booksellers: Kelly and Co. and F. & C. Walsh.[1] It was incorporated on July 1, 1885 and most active from the 1880s through the 1930s, with publications from cities including
Hong Kong,
Singapore,
Tokyo, and
Yokohama. It moved to
Hong Kong following the occupation of China by the
Japanese, and was ultimately sold to book seller Swindon Book Co. Ltd. in Hong Kong.
The Singapore branch of Kelly & Walsh operated a bookshop from the 1880s until 1956 and also published "200 recorded titles" between 1887 and the mid-1950s. It also set up its own printing and bookbinding department in 1899.[2]
