Charles Joseph Hullmandel was the son of the German composer Nicolas-Joseph Hüllmandel (1756-1823) and the French Camille Aurore Ducazan, who married in France in 1787 and fled to London shortly before the French Revolution in 1789. Hullmandel began to experiment with a few lithographic presses in London's Great Marlborough Street in 1818 and printed from templates that he made from his own drawings . To learn more about the chemical background of the lithographic technique, Hullmandel turned to Michael Faraday . The collaboration between the two resulted in numerous improvements in the quality of lithographic products, which Hullmandel documented in his 1824 work The Art of Drawing on Stone .
