Scrap character card of Richard III produced by Siegmund Hildesheimer

Siegmund Hildesheimer (1832–1896) was a German-born British publisher, best known for Christmas and other greetings cards, and postcards, produced by Siegmund Hildesheimer & Co Ltd, in London and Manchester.[1][2][3][4][5]

He was born in Halberstadt, Germany, the son of Abraham Hildesheimer and Sara Meyer.[6] He moved to Manchester, England in the mid-1870s.[7]

His younger brother Albert Hildesheimer (1843–1924) was also active in publishing Christmas cards, and in 1881 went into partnership with Charles William Faulkner, as Hildesheimer & Faulkner, with offices at 41 Jewin Street, London.[8]

On 15 August 1858, Hildesheimer married Pauline Hirsh, and they had two daughters, Margarethe Hildesheimer and Anna Hildesheimer.[9]

He used some of Beatrix Potter's early drawings of rabbits for Christmas cards that he published.[10]
