History
This British music publishing and importing company was established in London by John Jeremiah Ewer in 1823. Julius Johanning (1795-1859) was Ewer’s partner from about 1824 until 1829. In these years the firm was run under the name of Ewer & Johanning. Thereafter Ewer continued as J.J. Ewer & Co. until 1867 when the company was purchased by Novello.
