Life

Promenade square in Dorpat

Schlater was the son of the wheelwright Georg Friedrich Schlater and his wife Eva Rosina (née Rimler). He learned to paint in a room and came to Riga at a young age. He moved to Dorpat around 1834 to work as a "puppet painter". There he made figures that were painted on cardboard or sets for puppet theaters, Noah's Ark with its animals or toys for children. He was a student of Karl August Senff .

In 1837 Schlater was employed as a teacher for drawing and writing at the higher city daughter school. In the same year he founded a lithographic institute and published pictures from the area around Dorpat. In the following year he also took the position of a drawing teacher (senior teacher) at the local grammar school and at the veterinary institute and tried his hand at multi-colored lithography. He was, among other things, at the He created the illustrations for the work of Professor Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogows on surgical anatomy, for which he was awarded a gold medal on the Annenband (or Stanislausband) and he was praised in the foreword of the work. The Petersburg Academy awarded the oil painting The Passage to Annenhof near Dorpat in 1852 the rank of "free artist". In the last years of his life (1855 to 1870) he increasingly occupied himself with photography. In 1857 he sold his lithographic establishment to Louis Höflinger.

It says about the activities of the German pioneers of photography in Dorpat and Reval :

"[...] olulisematest varastest fotograafidest olgu nimetatud AM Hagen, G. Fr. Schlater, L. Höflinger, C. Schulz, Ch. Borchardt, H. Ellrich, GA Dietz yes Th. John. Kõik nad olid saksa soost mehed, kes seda uut kunsti siinmail edendama hakkasid, sageli tehes seda oma põhitöö kõrvalt - oli selleks siis maalikunst, litografeerimistegevus, töö muusikuna vuõi midagi. "

“[…] The most important early photographers were AM Hagen, G. Fr. Schlater, L. Höflinger, C. Schulz, chap. Borchardt, H. Ellrich, GA Dietz and Th. John. All were German men who started promoting this new art here and often did their main task - be it painting, lithography, work as a musician or something else. "
