Anton Philipp Reclam (1807–1896)[1] was a German publisher and founder of the Reclam press. Reclam established his company in Leipzig in 1828 as "Philipp Reclam jun." to distinguish it from his father's company.[2] After the 1867 lifting of the German copyright on authors deceased before 1837, Reclam introduced the successful Universal-Bibliothek, which offered affordable editions of classic German and foreign texts.
