"desc": "Nicholas Hasselbach c. 1728 – 1769 was a German-American printer, part of a mass migration from Germany who emigrated to Philadelphia in the mid-18th century. He operated a paper mill near Philadelphia, after which he removed to Baltimore, Maryland, where he established that city's first printing press. He was one of the few German speaking printers who that wanted to print religious literature in German. Hasselbach died unexpectedly as a relatively young man, leaving only one known example of his printing, a small book, now owned by a private collector."
