The Rau und Blümlein lithographic establishment was founded in 1864 by the merchant Gerhard Blümlein (* 1836 in Winkel im Rheingau ) and the lithographer Friedrich Rau . A decade later, the company's program had expanded: The address book of the city of Frankfurt am Main from 1877 already mentioned Gerhard Blümlein & Co. as a “lithographer. Establishment, book and lithography ", verifiable under the address of the time Lersnerstrasse 21 . The owners were Gerhard Johann Blümlein and his partner Friedrich Hölter .

Around 1900 the company produced its own postcards, some of which were numbered on the face side, using different printing techniques , although the numbering system evidently did not consistently develop in the course of the company's history. "Multi-image maps" produced for their own publishing house, mostly color lithographed, often showed artistically drawn motifs from Lower Saxony , Hesse , Baden-Württemberg , Schleswig-Holstein or Rhineland-Palatinate . Blümlein & Co. also reproduced their works for the then closely related profession of photographers, partly as bound books or brochures , for example in collotype for the photographer Karl Friedrich Wunder, who worked in Hanover .

The private operator of the Dutch site Circusmuseum.nl claims its own reproduction rights for a lithographed advertisement advertised by Circus Helena, Directorate Helene Althoff , advertised via Europeana . In 1929 the printing works G. Blümlein appeared with a work, The Delegate to the 9th German Printer Congress on the 21st and 21st. Dedicated to June 22, 1929. Frankfurt am Main .
