thumb Charles Troedel (1835/6 Hamburg – 1906) (born Johannes Thedor Carl Troedel) was a German-born lithographic printer prominent in Melbourne during the late 19th century. He was apprenticed to his father at the age 13 and at the age of 24, emigrated to Melbourne, arriving in Williamstown on board the ''Great Britain'' in 1860. Trading as Troedel & Co, and from 1910 Troedel & Cooper, his company had close links with many well-known artists of that era. One of his apprentices was Arthur Streeton who was still working for him before being ''discovered'' by Tom Roberts and Frederick McCubbin. His name was well known in the printing industry for over 100 years. In 1863, convinced Troedel that a book of Melbourne views would be a financial success. This artwork was ultimately published as 12 monthly subscriptions of 2 views per month and known as the ''Melbourne Views''. A bound copy of the full 24 views is held in the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra. Troedel carried out the lithography for Ferdinand von Mueller's landmark work (''Eucalyptographia. A descriptive atlas of the eucalypts of Australia and the adjoining islands'' ) published between 1879 and 1884. ==References== * 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「Charles Troedel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
