Bernhard Dondorf is famous for his chromolithographed playing cards. Born in Frankfurt, the son of Jewish immigrants, he served his apprenticeship at C. Naumann printers, opening his own lithographic printing business in 1833. In the early days Dondorf traded in every kind of accessory for the printing industry: from printing presses, machines for stone engraving, lithographic stones, chalks and visiting cards to wine labels, stationery, inks and papers and he was also involved in security printing.
