Woldemar Friedrich

Woldemar Friedrich (20 August 1846 in Gnadau, Saxony – 16 September 1910 in Berlin) was a German historical painter and illustrator.

After a study trip to Italy, he returned to Weimar in 1873, where he divided his time between illustrating and decorative painting; notably at the New Castle, Hummelshain [de].

This was followed by a trip to India, after which he produced a series of watercolors and paintings, as well as an illustrated book, Sechs Monate in Indien, with text by "E. von Leipziger".

From 1898, he was a member of the jury delegated to choose designs for the trading cards issued by the Stollwerck chocolate company.

His fellow judges included Franz Skarbina, Emil Doepler and Bruno Schmitz, who was a partner in the company.
