This article appears in Volume V01, Page 148 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ACKERMANN, RUDOLPH (1764-1834) , Anglo-German inventor and publisher, was born on the loth of April 1764 at Schneeberg, in Saxony. He had been a saddler and coach-builder in different German cities, Paris and London for ten years before, in 1795, he established a
print
 -shop and drawing-school in the Strand.
Ackermann
  set up a lithographic
press
 , and applied it in 1817 to the
illustration
  of his Repository of Arts, Literature, Fashions,. Ei'c. (monthly until 1828 when
forty
  volumes had appeared). Rowlandson and other distinguished artists were
regular
  contributors. He also introduced the fashion of the once popular English Annuals, beginning in 1825 with Forget-me-not; and he published many illustrated volumes of topography and travel, The Microcosm of London (3 vols., 18o8-1811), Westminster Abbey (2 vols., 1812), The Rhine (1820), The World in Miniature (43 vols., 18211826), &c.
Ackermann
  was an enterprising man ; he patented (18o?) a method for rendering
paper
  and cloth waterproof, erected a factory at Chelsea for the purpose and was one of the first to illuminate his own premises with gas. Indeed the introduction of lighting by gas owed much to him. After the battle of
Leipzig
  Ackermann collected nearly a
quarter
  of a million sterling for the German sufferers. He died at Finchley, near London, on the 3oth of
March
  1834.
