(b London, 15 June 1789; d London, 15 Nov 1850). English draughtsman, lithographer and printer of German descent. He worked mainly in London, although he had trained in Paris as a painter and travelled extensively in Europe, making many topographical sketches and studies. In 1817 in Munich he met Alois Senefelder, who introduced him to lithography. One of the results of his travels was his Twenty-four Views of Italy (London, 1818), the images drawn and lithographed by himself. Dissatisfied with the way his work had been printed, Hullmandel set up his own lithographic press. His skilful production of, for instance, Giovanni Belzoni’s Plates Illustrative of the Researches and Operations in Egypt and Nubia (London, 1820–22) did much to popularize the topographical lithograph among British artists.
