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.

Peter Schöffer.  Monument in Gernsheim from 1836

Peter Schöffer was an associate of Johann Fust (financial backer of Johann Gutenberg) who worked as an apprentice to Gutenberg during the making of the 42-Line Bible. Schöffer took Fust's side when  Gutenberg was sued in 1455 for 2,026 guilders. The court found in Fust's favour, and Gutenberg lost his invention and equipment. Schöffer had his name join Fust's on the completed copies of the Bible.



Among other things, he is responsible for the printer's marks that indicated the origin of printed works. Peter Schöffer's printer's mark, here placed at the end of Valerius Maximus, 1471

In 1476 Schöffer bought a house and expanded it with a neighboring building to become the "Schöfferhof". The printing works was also located here. Just a few years after his father's death in 1503, Peter Schöffer the Younger sold the house again. The buyer then built a brewery there. The name Schöfferhof was apparently only used as a brand name for the brewery from around the middle of the 19th century.

Peter Schöffer too, but different: This is what the beer brand's namesake looked like in an older version that can still be found on beer crates today.
