GUICHARD, FRANZ (Germ.). Coin-engraver at the Mint of Montbéliard, 1610-1620, and at Stuttgart until 1628. The name of this artist has been identified by Binder ( Württembergische Münz- und-Medaillenkunde, 1846). Guichard was Briot's successor at the Court of Würtemberg, and there is a great analogy in the style and manner of these engravers. To Guichard Erman attributes the following medals : 16 10. Johann Friedrich of Würtemberg (2 medals); — 1610. Ludwig Friedrich of Montbéliard (Itzinger coll"); — 161 3. Johann Friedrich of Würtemberg ; — 1619. Ludwig Friedrich of Mont- béliard; — 1630. Ludwig Friedrich, as Administrator; — 1638. Anselm Casimir, Archbishop of Mayence; — Undated. Julius Friedrich of Würtemberg (1631-1633); — 1634. Eberhard III. of Würtemberg. These medals are signed : F. G. On a portrait-piece of Wilhelm of Baden, 1627, very similar in execution to Guichard's productions, the artist's signature is I. G. ; this is perhaps an error for F. G. The initials F. G. occur also on a Coronation Medal of Count Palatine Frederick and Elizabeth of Bohemia, 1619, described in Medallic Illustrations of the History of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. I, p. 229.
