JAECKLE-SCHNEIDER, BARTH. (Swiss.). Contemporary Medallist and Seal-engraver, who in recent years has produced a number of commemorative and prize-medals. He resides at Zurich, but was born on December 11, 1850, at Schabenhausen (Baden). His father, who was a watchmaker, settled at Zurich in 1863. Jaeckle visited the schools, made an apprenticeship in a die-sinking establishment at Zurich, and afterwards worked at Cologne, Berlin and Breslau. In 1876, he started business on his own account at Zurich. I have met with Jaeckle's signature on the following medals : 1880. Zurich " Krugerfest "; — 1881. Dog Show at Zurich; — Ignaz Heim, composer, of Zurich; — 1883. Swiss Federal Exhibition at Zurich (at least 14 varieties); — 1886. Christening medal of Ulrich Ziegler ; — 1889. Vinedressers' Festival at Vevey; — 1890. Inauguration of Pestalozzi's Monument at Yverdon; — 1891. Sixth Centenary of the Helvetic Alliance; — Swiss Bakery Exhibition at Zurich ; — Souvenir of the Frozen Lake of Zurich ; — 1890. Federal F?te of the " Grütli Central " Society ; — 1891. Seventh centenary of the Foundation of Berne; — 1894. Fisheries' Exhibition at Zurich ; — Various Agricultural and other Prizemedals ; — 1894. Cantonal Industrial Exhibition, &c. Before 1883, Jaeckle was a partner in the die-sinking establishment of Oehler-Jaeckle. This Engraver is perhaps more clever in cutting seals than medals. To him was entrusted the execution of the Zurich official seal and he has produced a great number of seals for private persons, armorial bearings, &c. Bibliography. — Bulletin ? Revue suisses de numismatique, 1882-1898. — Information obtained from Herr F. O. Pestalozzi, Vice-President of the Zurich Art Society, and one of the Editors of the Dictionary of Swiss Artists.
