In the 19th century, there were 15 goldsmiths‘ masters working in the guild of Banská Bystrica. Beside the greatest and most famous goldsmith Samuel Libay (1782 – 1866), there were also goldsmiths who had tried to save the glory and shine of this craft. Francis Rosenberger (1799 – 1882), a goldsmith master from Pest had belonged to them. He had trained numerous young goldsmiths with his son and goldsmith master Anton Rosenberger among these apprentices. Francis Rosenberger was several times at the forefront of the goldsmith's guild in the position of a superior. One of his most famous pupils was William Emler (1839 – 1897), who had made an extraordinary contribution to preserve a part of the goldsmith's workshop of the masters Francis Rosenberger and Samuel Libay.
George Sodomka, Charles Miškovský, Louis Herritz and Francis Franciscy – foursome talented goldsmiths working in goldsmith’s guild during the 19th century in Banská Bystrica – are undoubtedly a proof of the viability and highly valued production of goldsmith's products even in the so-called "declining" century for goldsmith's craft and craft in general. All four of them actively educated a new generation of goldsmiths and were leading figures in the goldsmith's guild of Banská Bystrica.
