Hans Jakob Schmid
Born in 1856.
Died in 1924.
Hans Jakob Schmid is known for his work as a lithographer. In the 1880s, he developed an innovative process, the Asphalt-Kopierverfahren, which led to the emergence of photochromism. This technique made it possible to reproduce colour images with greater precision, marking a notable advance in the field of printing.
Schmid’s contributions to the art of lithography and the reproduction of images remain a subject of interest, although certain aspects of his work and impact still require further clarification.
