Lange in Langenschwalbach (heute Bad Schwalbach) ist kein authentischer dokumentarischer Beleg beizubringen (Goldfriedrich 4, 1913, für den Zeitraum 1805-1889 erwähnt weder die Ortschaft noch Firma oder Inhaber). Im Handel finden sich jedoch gelegentlich gestochene Ansichten- und Souvenirblätter dieser Firma angeboten. Möglicherweise handelt es sich um eine unter dem Namen LANGE weitergeführte Nachfolgerfirma : Gustav Georg Lange (Darmstadt 1812-1843 ibid.), Maler, Buchhändler, Drucker, Verleger, Kunsthändler, hatte 1831 eine Druckanstalt für Stahlstiche gegründet, an welcher seine Brüder Julius und Ludwig mit beteiligt waren und bis 1856 ein sechsbändiges Ansichtenwerk in Lieferungen produzierten (s. Hessische Biografie, online; vgl. Stadtlexikon Darmstadt, online). Über die spätere Firmengeschichte ist wenig und zu einem Standortwechsel in das Rheingau-Taunus Gebiet nichts mehr bekannt. "1850 kam der ältere Verlag an K. Theod. Völckers Verlag und Antiquariat in Frankfurt a. M. (gegr. 1841) [.]. 1876 übernahm Friedrich Lange in Darmstadt den Verlag von G. G. Lange, gab aber seinen direkten Verkehr mit dem Buchhandel auf." (R. Schmidt, Deutsche Buchhändler. Deutsche Buchdrucker. Bd. 4, 1907, p. 591). - Sprache: en.
