Ludwig Philippsohn, Dresden was a company that described itself as an art institute for collotype, photo and chromolithography and an art publishing company. In particular, postcards from their own production were sold there. It had its company headquarters at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in the Saxon royal seat of Dresden .

history
Little research has been done on the company's history. The founder and owner of the company was the Jewish businessman Ludwig Philippsohn (1848–1935), who also made numerous photographs for sale as postcards. No later than 1893, the publishing house began photo- and Chromos , which then picture postcards in the light pressure followed. Not only cards with motifs from Dresden and Saxony were sold, but also from the Kingdom of Bohemia, for example from Sankt Joachimsthal or Stimmersdorf in Bohemian Switzerland .
In Dresden, the company was based at Albrechtstrasse 14, where Ludwig Philippsohn lived with his family. In 1905 the publishing house was already located in the building at Cranachstrasse 3 in Dresden. The building was destroyed in the bombing raid on Dresden in 1945 .
The company existed at least in 1905 and came to a standstill before the outbreak of the First World War. The shop on Albrechtstraße passed into other hands, because Wallraths Kunstverlag , owned by Johannes Wallrath, was already located at Albrechtstraße 14 in Dresden in 1917 .
Ludwig Philippsohn was married to Julie, née Cohn. Their marriage resulted in a son in 1896. There were also other children.
