" Analysis of the data to early card painters and printers in Germany and Flandern as collected by W.L. Schreiber in Die ältesten Spielkarten und die auf das Kartenspiel Bezug habenden Urkunden des 14. und 15. Jahrh. (1937), p. 133 - 135, in relation to "1390: first German paper mill in Nürnberg" and a later paper mill near Basel.
Schreiber didn't collect data to the profession "Formschneider", but adds in his remarks, that likely early Formschneiders (which are frequently mentioned in old documents) worked also as playing card producers."
