'''Carl August Reinhardt''' (also referred to as Karl Reinhardt; born 25. April 1818 in [[Leipzig]], [[Germany]]; died 11. August 1877 in [[Radebeul]], [[Germany]]) was a German author, painter, graphic artist, and caricaturist.

==Life==

Reinhardt studied art in [[Leipzig]], [[Dresden]], and [[Munich]], under the tutelage of [[Johan Christian Dahl]] and [[Albert Zimmermann]], among others. During the 1840s and 1850s, he lived a bohemian wandering life as a landscape painter, author, and caricaturist. During this time, he contributed to the well-known magazines ''[[Kladderadatsch]]'', ''[[Die Gartenlaube]]'', and ''Illustrirte Zeitung''.

In 1848, Reinhardt contributed to the ''[[Fliegende Blätter]]'', in an issue titled "Meister Lapp and his apprentice Pips." The original issue was incomplete, and a complete version appeared in an 1851 book version published by Braun & Schneider. Reinhardt helped pioneer the [[comics]] genre in ''Deutscher Bilderbogen für Jung und Alt'', which was inspired by the Munich ''Bilderbogen''.

Reinhardt made his living illustrating books. Some of his best-known lithographs appear in volumes 2-4 of ''To America!'' by [[Friedrich Gerstäcker]], published in 1855.

By the 1860s, Reinhardt had made a name for himself, but years of hard living had taken a toll on his health. Ill and still poor, he moved to [[Dresden]] and tried his hand at being an author, playwright, and journal editor (''Der Calculator an der Elbe''). In 1877, he opened an eponymous tavern in [[Radebeul]]. The tavern survived  Reinhardt's death, known under the abbreviated name "Zum Calculator."
