History
Founded by Benjamin Frank Wood (1849-1922) in Boston, possibly in the early 1890s. After Wood's death, the company was taken over by his nephew Harold W. Robinson; by that time, the firm employed about 30 people.
The company both produced original engravings of the works of living American composers and also co-issued various new European engravings.
