Descriptive card

Samuel Luchtmans (1685-1757) was a Dutch bookseller and printer. He was the son of Jordaan Luchtmans, who is considered to be the founder of the still-established Brill publishing house in Leiden. After his father's death, he took over the business. In 1720, he started his own printing press alongside the bookstore and publishing house.
