Hubert Sattler "traveled widely and was noted for large and minutely detailed cosmorama paintings of cities, monuments, and landscapes of many countries. [...]

Cosmoramas were exhibitions of perspective paintings of various places, often world landmarks; careful use of illumination and lenses gave the images greater realism. Sattler's cosmorama works, characterized by a high degree of detail, were sometimes displayed under lights in a dark room to paying customers looking through an aperture and often a magnifying lens."
