The Stanton Press was set up in 1921 by Richard S. Lambert (1894-1981) and his wife Elinor Lambert (1892-?) at 32 Chalfont Avenue, Wembley Hill, Middlesex where they lived. Richard Lambert's interest in printing was fired by his enthusiasm for the hand-printed books of private presses such as William Morris' Kelmscott Press, Essex House Press, Eragny Press, Vale Press and Ashendene Press which had flourished before the First World War.
The books produced by The Stanton Press are all illustrated or decorated and feature titles of new or translated poetry. Richard S. Lambert translated the poetry into English from Latin. Elinor Lambert was an artist whose woodcut engravings feature in some of the books produced by the press. Agnes Lambert also illustrated some of the books. The British Museum holds several examples of prints by Elinor Lambert.
The press produced a total of eight titles, closing in 1924.
