Matthias Trentsensky

He studied engraving art and worked in the lithographic workshop of Adolph Friedrich Kunike in Vienna, and in 1819, together with his younger brother Joseph Trentsensky (1794-1839), opened his own lithographic publishing and office supply company (Papierwarenhandlung).

They released a significant number of lithographs depicting the uniforms of the Austrian army and battle scenes, as well as theatrical costumes, images of animals and popular prints for children.

They also sold the popular "Mandelbogen" for children, which were embossed toy proscenium arches to be cut out or painted.

In 1822 he received a patent for the production of lithographs using zinc plates, and in 1829 one for wooden blocks.

His brother Joseph Trentsensky (9 August 1794 - 24 January 1839) was married to Bianca Westermann and they lived in Rasumofskygasse in Leopoldstadt.
