- Biography
- Print publishing firm established in 1814 by Carl Gottfried Lüderitz (1783-1861), the father of the artist Carl Gustav (q.v.); oval blind-stamp 'C.G. Lüderitz' (Lugt 4518).
Anna Petrova (email March 2023): The father, Carl Gottfried (C.G.) Lüderitz was a publisher. Because the initials of the father and son are identical, the erroneous belief that Karl Gustav Lüderitz was also the publisher has been created, a belief held by some German and French sources, art historians and historians. In addition, the different names of the publisher are easily misleading. Initially known as: C. G. Lüderitz, after the sale it is referred to as C.G. Lüderitz'sche Kunstverlagsanstalt, or as C.G. Lüderitz'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung and Lüderitz'sche Buch- und Kunsthandlung. Founded by Carl Gottfried in April 1814, the publishing house existed under different names until almost the end of the 19th century. In the early 1830s Carl Gottfried sold part of his enterprise, consisting of a range of art goods, art and book publishing, to Eduard Heinrich Schroeder, who continued to operate it under the name E. H. Schroeder, previously Lüderitz. After his death on August 13, 1849, Hermann Kaiser took over the management of the business at his widow's expense, and in December 1841, at his own expense. In March 1874 the publication was merged with Mitscher & Röstell. The remaining artistic part of the Lüderitz publishing house was acquired in January 1835 by Josef Josefi, who founded C.G. Lüderitz'sche Kunst-Verlagshandlung, but Karl Gottfried Lüderitz managed the business; even later, when the publishing house passed into the hands of Fabian and later Jakob Josefi, Lüderitz had full power of attorney for the entire business. Of course, the engravings of Carl Gustav's son were often published by his father.
