Bernard Quaritch Ltd. has been buying and selling rare books and manuscripts since 1847. Our founder, Bernard Quaritch, was born in 1819 near Göttingen in Germany. After working for booksellers in Nordhausen and Berlin, he set off for London in 1842, aged twenty-three. Quaritch knew no one there, but was armed with a letter of introduction to Henry Bohn, then London’s leading book dealer. Impressed by Quaritch’s persistence, Bohn took the young man on. Quaritch later recalled saying to his employer, “Mr Bohn, you are the first bookseller in England, I mean to become the first bookseller in Europe”. Bohn’s answer is not recorded, but Mrs Bohn, already impressed by Quaritch’s diligence, replied “I believe you will”.
