1850s Hölzlhuber Paintings Go Online
Forty-two watercolors by Franz Hölzhuber, a visiting Austrian painter who arrived in Milwaukee in 1856, were recently added to Wisconsin Historical Images. They included many views of Milwaukee, Madison, Stevens Point and other Wisconsin communities in the 1850s, as well as depictions of steamships, sailing vessels, and trains. Hölzlhuber also traveled in Canada and the Mississippi River Valley over the next 4 years, and painted scenes of those localities as well. Color reproductions can be purchased by clicking the "Add to Cart" button shown with each painting.
