Achert, Frederick
Frederick Achert (August 25, 1847 - April 2, 1928) was a German-American lithographer. Born in Baden-Baden, Germany, he arrived in the United States in 1862 and became a naturalized citizen in 1868. Achert operated his own lithographic firm from 1878 until 1885 and then he joined Willaim D. Henderson (December 31, 1845 - May 5, 1920) to form the Henderson-Achert Company in 1885. A fire destroyed the Henderson-Achert Company in 1890, and Henderson decided to buy the Krebs Lithographing Company instead of rebuilding the old firm. After the acquisition, Achert was made vice president of the new firm, which was called Henderson-Achert-Krebs. Achert left Henderson-Achert-Krebs in 1896 to firm his own firm, the Achert Lithographic Art Company, which was apparently also known as Achert and Henckel, and this firm operated until 1908 when the Monarch Lithographic Company purchased it. After the purchase, Achert used his reputation as 'one of the best lithographic sketch artists the country ever had' and opened the Achert Bureau of Design, a lithographic design service, which operated for a few years.
