Remarks

• "Adolph Asher (23 August 1800-1 September 1853), originally named Abraham Ascher ... established his bookselling business at Mohrenstraße 53 on 1 January 1830. ... He took advantage of his trading connections in London, where he opened a second shop in Covent Garden by 1835, and St Petersburg, where he opened a third shop. By 1848 he apparently moved the shop to Unter den Linden 13 (later 20), near the Königlich Preussische Akademie der Wissenschaften.... When the (first World) war ended in 1918, A. Asher & Co. was once again importing and exporting modern books, now from Behrenstraße 17."
