Mandylion Press was founded on New Year’s Eve 2022 by Madeline Porsella and Mabel Capability Taylor, who met studying chairs in graduate school. Mandylion Press unearths lost literary gems written by women and weirdos in the (very) long nineteenth century. Based between New York City, Connecticut, and the fourth dimension, Mandylion Press pairs special stories with inviting introductions—producing totally cute books of historical merit.

Madeline Porsella is a cofounder and editor of Mandylion Press. In her spare time, she is pursuing a PhD in art history at Yale University.
