Biography

He was the great grandson of the founder of the Joh. Enschedé company, and the oldest son of Johannes Enschedé Jr.. Like his father and grandfather before him, he was a member of the Dutch Society of Science and the Teylers Second Society. He studied law in Leiden and returned to become partner in the family company at the young age of 20, where he became editor of the Opregte Haarlemsche Courant. In 1810 he married Catharina Hillegonda van Walré, the daughter of Jan van Walré.

Like his father, he was a regent of the St. Elizabeth's-Gasthuis and the Hofje van Staats en Noblet. Enschedé III continued his father's collection of art and books, but after his death these were auctioned by his heirs, much to the disappointment of his nephew Adriaan Justus Enschedé, who bought as much of the collection as he could.
