D. Schmidt, Adelaide

Backmark: D. Schmidt Adelaide

Diedrich Schmidt (1838-1897) was a Bremmen born engraver who came to Melbourne in 1859, then moved to Adelaide in 1867. He worked with Salis Schlank, jeweller and button maker on some medals, and apparently, at least one button! He unfortunately was insolvent in 1885, and had to move his business from Gawler Place to Freeman Street. He died in 1897 aged only 60 years.
