Original image "edition Lang's lithographical establishment, Hamburg. Published by Helmuth Holtz, sole proprietor."
There is a typographical error in the title; "sesquicentennial" is missing the second s.
Helmuth Heinrich Diedrich Holtz, artist, sailor, and Union soldier, was born on January 1, 1833, to Johann Christian Helmuth and Margaretha Christine (Berg) Holtz in Kappeln, Schleswig. The elder Holtz was a hoop maker there, and apparently his son learned his father's trade. Young Helmuth became a sailor, perhaps in Germany, and in 1860 visited the Texas ports of Indianola and Matagorda. From the bay on board the barque Texana he sketched views of the two towns and a view of the hotel at Matagorda. Holtz apparently sent these three views back to Hamburg, where they were reproduced by Eduard Lang's lithographic establishment.
