Schmid, János
János Schmid (fl. c. 1807 - 1839) was a lithographer and engraver based in Budapest in the first half of the 19th century. He produced maps, sheets music, and other job ephemera. Schmid was born in Basel, Switzerland. He was active as a printer form at least 1807. Around 1820, he established press in Buda (Budapest). The press was relocated to the Pest side of the river in 1828. An unfortunate choice being that Pest was flooded and mostly destroyed in 1838. Nonetheless, Schmid survived and in 1839 issued the definitive post-flood plan of Budapest.
