A. Asher & Co. B.V. was founded in 1830 in Berlin by Adolph Asher, among other things bookseller to Alexander von Humboldt, Darwin, and other eminent nineteenth-century scientists. In 1933 the company was forced to leave Berlin and relocated in Amsterdam. From 1946 onwards the company has issued numerous catalogues in the fields of natural history, science and travel and voyages.    
After the retirement of Nico Israel in 1995, the new owner moved the company to its present location in IJmuiden, about twenty kilometres west of Amsterdam, where it now operates under the name of ASHER Rare Books.
