  Charles Joseph Hüllmandel was schilder, topografisch tekenaar en een beroemde lithograaf in Londen. Hij was de enige zoon van Nicolas-Joseph Hüllmandel. In Engeland stond hij bekend als Charles Hullmandel. Zijn hele leven was hij ongehuwd. Hij leefde samen met zijn zuster (Adelaide Charlotte) Evelina. Rond 1817 reisde Charles Hullmandel door heel Europa en maakte overal tekeningen en schilderijen van de plaatsen die hij bezocht. In München ontmoette hij Senefelder, de uitvinder van het lithografisch procédé. In 1818 vestigde hij zich als zelfstandig lithograaf in Great Marlborough Street in Londen. Dat beroep bleef hij uitoefenen tot aan zijn dood in 1850. Hij speelde een belangrijke rol bij de ontwikkeling van de Britse lithografie in het eerste deel van de negentiende eeuw en was een pionier op dit gebied. Op duizenden lithografische prenten staat zijn naamstempel afgebeeld. Hij ontwikkelde een methode om gradaties in tinten weer te geven. Daarmee wist hij het effect van zachte kleuren te creëren, waardoor het mogelijk werd om romantische landschapsschilderijen in druk om te zetten. Hij heeft een belangrijk handboek voor lithografen geschreven, dat "The Art of Drawing on Stone" heet. Dit klassieke werk kwam uit in 1824.

  Charles Hullmandel (1789-1850), British lithographer. Hullmandel was born in London to German parents. In his early life he worked as a painter, having trained in London and Paris. During a trip to Germany in 1817 he met Senefelder who introduced him to lithography. He printed his own lithographs of sketches in 1818, but was dissatisfied with the results. He set about improving the lithographic process and devised a way of reproducing the subtle tonal variations and colour washes favoured by the Romantic artists of the day. In 1824 he wrote a handbook, 'The Art of Drawing on Stone', and in 1843 established a printing firm with partner W. Walton.
  
  Hullmandel died in his sixty-second year on 15 November 1850, when preparations were well underway for the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park where his firm had a stand and won a medal. As he was an only son with no children, his line died out and, though I have searched through innumerable listings in directories and elsewhere, I have come across no other Hullmandel in Britain. His death certificate records that he died of a brain haemorrhage (effusion cerebro) at his home, 51 Great Marlborough Street; the informant was Sara Ling, who was unable to sign her name and was probably a nurse or a servant.
