Charles Joseph Hullmandel

Charles Joseph Hullmandel ( born June 15, 1789 in London, † November 15, 1850 in London ) was an English lithographer.

Life and work

Charles Joseph Hullmandel was the son of German composer Nicolas- Joseph Hüllmandel (1756-1823) and the Frenchwoman Camille Aurore Ducazan who had married in 1787 in France and fled shortly before the French Revolution in 1789 to London. Hullmandel began in 1818 at London's Great Marlborough Street with a few lithographic presses to experiment and printed according to templates that he made after his own drawings. To learn more about the chemical background of the lithographic technique turned Hullmandel at Michael Faraday. Cooperation between the two led to numerous improvements in the quality lithographic products Hullmandel 1824 documented in his book The Art of Drawing on Stone.
