Peter Humblot

Peter Humblot (13 March 1779 – 11 December 1828) was a German book seller and publisher.

Life Peter Humblot was born in Berlin. He was the second son of a knife maker from Langres in Champagne who had relocated to Berlin where he believed - correctly, as matters turned out - that there would be more possibilities for expanding his business than in small-town eastern France. He died later that same year.

Personal In 1812, Peter Humblot married Amélie Jordan (1789–1877), the daughter of a Berlin jeweller. Their daughter Bertha later married the physicist-chemist Heinrich Gustav Magnus.
