William Loring Andrews (September 9, 1837 – March 19, 1920) was an American rare book collector, publisher, and librarian. He was a trustee and the first librarian of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and its advocate for forty years.[1][2] From 1888 to 1892, he served as the founder and president of the Grolier Club.[3] He was also the founder and only president of the Society of Iconophiles.[4] He was "an enthusiastic and discriminating collector of rare books, prints, paintings, and porcelains."[5]
He published 36 books,[4] about 24 of which he wrote; many detailed "bookish themes" and/or New York City history. Andrews "selected the paper, typography, and bindings" for all of his books, while E. D. French and Sidney L. Smith provided tailpieces and other graphic elements.[2]
According to the Met, "Andrews was a fundamental force in the early days of The Met, and he was the pivotal figure in the development and collection growth at The Met's great library."
