12) German poem by Friedrich Keller, London 1860. Keller (1816-1895) was a German machinist and inventor of wood pulp process for use in papermaking. He is widely known for his wood-cut machine, used for extracting fibres needed for pulping wood. Throughout his life, Keller received no royalties from his invention. However, in 1870 he received from a number of German paper makers and other associations a small sum of money, which he used to buy a house in Krippen, Germany. Towards the end of his life a fair sum of money was collected for him in various countries, enough for a worry-free retirement, and he also received several awards in recognition of his invention.
