Jozsef Wolfner

József Wolfner (Arad, June 5, 1856 – Budapest, February 16, 1932) was a Hungarian publisher, founder of the publishing house Singer and Wolfner.

"He was a bourgeois, and in Hungary there are bourgeois, proletarians and Bohemians, but the real bourgeois is not common. Wolfner was a real bourgeois whose lifestyle was the dignity and enthusiasm for his job. He perfectly adhered to Baudelaire’s expression that stated: "You have to work, because work is less boring than fun." Well, Wolfner was a man who was never bored. His life was dedicated to design and creativity". – From Ferenc Herczeg’s memorial speech
