Fuchs, Charles
Charles Fuchs (October 28, 1803 - March 5, 1874), also known as Carl Friedrich Fuchs, was a German lithographer based in Hamburg. Born in Prague, he spent his childhood in Hamburg and then lived in Bordeaux and Strasbourg, training for a military career before switching to lithography. He trained with the father-son team Frédéric Sigismond Simon and Frédéric Emile Simon, and he married the former's daughter (upon which Fuchs began to use the French version of his given name). Fuchs opened his own lithographic print shop (institut) in Hamburg around 1832. He also ventured into photography and was known for his technique of using chromolithography to print color onto photographs. After Fuchs' death, his print shop continued to operate, led by his son-in-law, until the early 20th century.
