Friedrich Ludwig Metzger
Friedrich Ludwig Metzger had worked briefly for the type foundry of Karl Tauchnitz in Leipzig. From 1848 until 1862, he was the leader of a church mission in Agra, India. In 1863, he set up a type foundry in Leipzig and bought the type foundry of Tauchnitz in 1865. In 1868, Robert Wittig was associated with Metzger, and the company became known as Metzger & Wittig. But that same year, all the matrices and type material was taken over by W. Drugulin, to be joined with the Niersschen Schriftgiesserei (est. 1829). |
