Excerpt from The Self-Made Man, Vol. 2 of 2: Autobiography of Karl Friedrich Von Klöden At the beginning of the year 1810, I became acquainted with a man, then far advanced in life, though of unimpaired faculties, who had in earlier years acquired a wide reputation. Christian von Mecheln, formerly a patrician of Basle, where he had been proprietor of a large art-institute and business which had gained him great fame and an extensive acquaintance, was at the time I am writing of living in Berlin. He used to employ young artists in engraving pictures, which he afterwards sold, and in this way he not only helped on numbers of artists but also enriched his own purse. In former times Mecheln had passed for a rich man and for one of the first connoisseurs of art. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
