Biography
lithographer and engraver, was a native of Saxony (Germany) who arrived at Melbourne in April 1849 in the Dockenhuden . He set up an engraving and lithography business in Swanston Street with T.P. Hentschel , but the partnership was dissolved on 15 July 1850 and each briefly continued on his own. A circular by 'M. Helm & Co. Melbourne’ advertises the coffee sold at Nicholson’s three Melbourne wholesale and retail grocery establishments (c.1850, La Trobe Collection, State Library of Victoria, Melbourne, Victoria) with a fanciful illustration of the daily coffee-grinding and roasting on the premises 'by the newly invented steam Apparatus’ manufactured by Sir Hans Sloane in London, together with a portrait of Britannia seated next to a kettle. This is Helm’s only known pictorial work. This entry is a stub. You can help the DAAO by submitting a biography. Writers: Staff Writer Date written: 1992 Last updated: 2011
