Content
Illustration of the composing room, with printing presses in the background. Chromolithography, colour printing. Although the current printers and publishers with the name Thieme no longer have anything to do with one another, they are, however, the descendents of a German ancestor, H.C.A. Thieme, who came to Zutphen on foot in 1770 from Wesel. There he was employed by a printer/bookseller, married his daughter and they had fourteen children. Four sons ended up in the printing business: two in Arnhem, one in Nijmegen and one in Zutphen.
