A depiction of groups of people viewing a panorama of landscapes on red walls in a large room, some seated at round tables. This sketch accompanies an Austrian  newspaper article published July 27, 1858 about Hölzlhuber's activities in Milwaukee. These include teaching drawing and singing at the German-English Academy, conducting the orchestra at the Catholic Cathedral, and producing confectionery -- introducing "the Linzertorte to the Yankees." He was also busy creating "42 continued pictures and is going to start a big panorama of America."
