Carl Friedrich (C.F.) Schmidt (1811- 1890) was a German botanist. He was a specialist in spermatophytes and a renowned artist and lithographer. He was also a prolific botanical artist who illustrated many of the Germanic botanical works of the period. He should not be confused with the Livonian/Russian botanist-geologist, Carl Friedrich a.k.a. Fyodor Bogdanovich Schmidt (1832-1908).
In 1832 he married Christiane Johanne Kast. They had at least one son, Johann Christian Julius Schmidt, born in 1833 in Blankenburg am Harz, Germany.
Publications: With Otto Karl Berg (1815-1866), Schmidt was published in Darstellung und Beschreibung in den Pharmacopoea Sämtliche Borussica offizinellen Gewächse aufgeführten (1853). Berg was professor of pharmaceutical botany at Berlin University. Schmidt both drew and lithographed the plates.
They also published the Pharmacopoea Borusica aufgeführten offizinellen Gewächse in 1846.
C.F. Schmidt was a contributing artist to the work Köhler's Medizinal Pflanzen. Published: Gera-Untermhaus : F.E. Köhler, [1883-1914] Medizinal Pflanzen, was published in 1887 in Gera, an east-central German city south of Leipzig. The set of four volumes was a noteworthy achievement and included plants of medicinal interest from several European nations. It was described by Sitwell and Blunt as "From the botanical standpoint the finest and most useful series of illustrations of medicinal plants." Köhler's Medizinal Pflanzen was edited by Gustav Pabst, a German botanist.
The remarkable feature of the publication is its nearly 300 finely detailed illustrations, expertly drawn by the artists L. Müeller and C.F. Schmidt, which were skillfully rendered by K. Gunther in chromolithography. Chromolithography is the process of rendering images on stone or zinc plates, then inking them with color inks to yield color pictures.
C.F. Schmidt should not be confused with Carl Friedrich Schmidt, (1832-1908), a.k.a. Fedor Bogdanovich. F. Schmidt, or F.B., was a Lavonian (now Estonian) botanist and geologist that discovered the The Sakhalin Fir, Abies sachalinensis, a species of conifer in the Pinaceae family. It is found in Japan and Russia.
