Carl Friedrich (C.F.) Schmidt (1811, Stettin – 1890, Berlin) was a German botanist. He was a specialist in spermatophytes and a renowned artist and lithographer. He was also a prolific botanical artist (akademischer Künstler zu Berlin) who illustrated many of the Germanic botanical works of the 19th century.〔http://www.meemelink.com/prints_pages/prints.Lauraceae.htm〕 ==Biography== In collaboration with Otto Karl Berg (1815-1866), professor of pharmaceutical botany at Berlin University,〔http://www.meemelink.com/prints_pages/prints.Lauraceae.htm〕 Schmidt was published in ''Darstellung und Beschreibung in den Pharmacopoea Sämtliche Borussica offizinellen Gewächse aufgeführten'' (1853). Publisher: Arthur Felix, Leipzig〔Otto Karl Berg〕 Schmidt both drew and lithographed the plates. Benjamin Daydon Jackson describes this work, a survey of plants used in the Prussian pharmacopoeia, as "A thoroughly good book, probably the very best of its class; both in text and illustrations".〔http://www.meemelink.com/prints_pages/prints.Lauraceae.htm〕 Berg and Schmidt also published the ''Pharmacopoea Borussica aufgeführten offizinellen Gewächse in 1846''.〔http://www.meemelink.com/prints_pages/prints.Lauraceae.htm〕〔http://lib.nmsu.edu/agnic/chile/index.shtml Botanical Prints of Capsicum〕 C.F. Schmidt was a contributing artist to the work ''Köhler's Medizinal Pflanzen''. Publisher: Gera-Untermhaus : F.E. Köhler, ().〔http://www.illustratedgarden.org/mobot/rarebooks/title.asp?relation=qk99a1k6318831914b1 Missouri Botanical Garden Library (MBG) Rare Books〕〔Köhler's Medicinal Plants〕 ''Medizinal Pflanzen'' was published in 1887 in Gera, an east-central German city south of Leipzig. The set of four volumes was a noteworthy achievement and included plants of medicinal interest from several European nations. It was described by Sitwell and Blunt〔http://www.hordern.com/pages/books/3203277/s-sitwell-w-blunt/great-flower-books-1700-1900-8230-great-flower-books-1700-1900-8230〕 as "From the botanical standpoint the finest and most useful series of illustrations of medicinal plants."〔http://www.illustratedgarden.org/mobot/rarebooks/title.asp?relation=qk99a1k6318831914b1〕 ''Köhler's Medizinal Pflanzen'' was edited by Gustav Pabst, a German botanist. The remarkable feature of the publication is its nearly 300 finely detailed illustrations, expertly drawn by the artists L. Müeller and C.F. Schmidt, which were skillfully rendered by K. Gunther in chromolithography.〔http://www.illustratedgarden.org/mobot/rarebooks/title.asp?relation=qk99a1k6318831914b1 Missouri Botanical Garden Library (MBG) Rare Books〕 Chromolithography is the process of rendering images on stone or zinc plates, then inking them with color inks to yield color pictures. It is remotely possible that C.F. Schmidt was the proprietor of the C.F. Schmidt Photography Studio in Halberstadt, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, in the mid 19th century. C.F. Schmidt, the botanical artist/lithographer, lived in Blankenburg am Harz, the village of his son's birth, in 1833.〔Staatsarchiv Hamburg〕〔Emigration paper from St. Michaelis Kirche〕 The C.F. Schmidt Photography Studio in Halberstadt is 10 miles from Blankenburg. More research needs to be performed in this area to establish any connection. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carl Friedrich Schmidt (1811)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
