Noe:	Charles Frederick William Mielatz 'Charles Mielatz ': Born in Germany, Charles Frederick William Mielatz came to the United States at the age of six. He studied art at the Chicago School of Design, Under F. Rondel, and began his career in Rhode Island working for the United States Engineers. Here, on surveying expeditions, he learned to etch for the purpose of creating maps and plans.
	During the 1880's America's best artists turned to etching. Influenced by Whistler's example, the major art centers (particularly New York) began practicing the art of etching as a major means of expression. Charles Mielatz moved permanently to New York in the early 1880's and created his first original etching there in 1883. Within only a few years his skills as an etcher had placed him in the front ranks of American art.
	A versatile etcher, Charles Mielatz was at home with landscapes, cityscapes and historical scenes. Also he was one of the first American artists to experiment with color etchings and monotypes. A perfectionist, Mielatz printed all his etchings himself and more or less initiated the idea of signing etchings in pencil.
	C. F. W. Mielatz was one of the first etchers elected to the prestigious National Academy of Design. From 1904 until his death he taught there as the Academy's primary instructor of etching.
