About the author

Andreas Wilhelm Cramer (1855–1942) was a German merchant from Bremen. Deutsche Biographie lists him as a businessman and gives Bremen as both his birthplace and place of death.

He is associated with Bremen cotton exchange, 1872/1922, a short English-language publication from 1922 about the Bremer Baumwollbörse. That work suggests a strong connection to Bremen’s cotton trade and to the commercial institutions that shaped the city’s economy.

Little biographical detail seems to be readily available in the sources found here, so it is safest to remember him as a Bremen businessman whose published work preserves a useful piece of local trade history.
