Biographical dates - Period of existence1923-1993
Other InformationErnst Philip Goldschmidt was born of Dutch ancestry in Vienna on 1 December 1887. Receiving his early schooling at the Royal Gymnasium at Vienna, he proceeded to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he became associated with a group of young book-collectors and with the eminent bookseller, Gustave David. He returned to the Continent where he was soon identified with the international book trade, and where he took occasion to familiarize himself with some of the great monastic libraries.
Though born of a wealthy family, he found his income from Continental sources cut short by the war, and it was this circumstance among others that caused him, after a brief period in Munich, working with Wilhelm (William) Schab (1920-23), to return to England in 1923 where he established the well-known firm at 45 Old Bond Street. In 1933 he was joined by Ernst Weil. Although trading as E. P. Goldschmidt & Co., he was the prime figure throughout the firm's existence, until his death. He died on 18 February 1954 at the age of sixty-six. [de Candal, from Weil's 'In Memoriam' (1954)]
