Bermann, Jeremias
Jeremias Bermann (1770 – January 2, 1855) was a German-Austrian antique, art, and music dealer and publisher. Bermann was born in Westphalia but moved to Vienna in 1907 after marrying the daughter of art dealer Josef Eder (1759 - 1835). In 1815, Bermann took over his father-in-law's famous antique shop, Eder'sche Kunsthandel, which occupied the ground floor of Elephantenhaus (619 Graben, Vienna). Elephantenhaus, a massive three-story building, was known for the enormous bas-relief of a man mounted on an elephant attached to its facade in the 18th century. Jeremias made his own son, Josef Berman (1810 – 1886), a partner in the business in 1836, renaming it Bermann et Fils. Josef took full ownership in 1847 and continued to manage the Bermann et Fils until the Elephantenhaus was demolished in 1866. The firm specialized in portrait engravings, calling cards, views, sheet music, and games.
