This last chap is down as a baker, but had previously made a living from gold paper printing

Legler is standing at a table in a buttoned jacket, blue coat and collar and is pointing at a sheet of printed paper. There is a printing press in the background. The symbols of his trade, bread and pretzels, are floating like a signet in the left corner. The background of the picture is greenish.

Christoph Legler, a baker by profession, who had previously made a living from gold paper printing, 65 years old, was accepted into the Mendelian Foundation as a brother in place of the deceased Andreas Serz on 3 September 1793.

That is the last of the print related entries - I have posted one in the movable type thread as  the chap had been a typesetter.
