Lueders, Emil
Description Emil Luders, born ca. 1831 in Braunschweig, Germany, worked as a lithographer in Philadelphia ca. 1861-ca. 1871. Luders arrived in the United States in New York on May 25, 1854 aboard the ship "Catherine" and by about 1855 worked as a lithographer in Philadelphia. He delineated the noted portrait "Passmore Williamson in Moyamensing Prison" (1855) and advertisements printed by Augustus Kollner, including "Goodyears Rubber-Packing & Belting Company. Warehouse 104 Chestnut St. Philada." (ca. 1856). During the 1860s, Luders earned enough income from his work in the trade to be taxed by the I.R.S. and he may be the Emil Lueders of West Hoboken, N.J. who patented an improvement in coin-testers in 1878.
By 1860, Luder was married to the Swiss-born Mary (b. ca. 1826) and resided in North Philadelphia (Ward 13). Luders's residences in Philadelphia between 1861 and 1871 included 8 Pleasant Retreat (1861), 714 Wallace Street (mid 1860s) and 543 North Twelfth Street (1869-1871).
