His travels eventually took him through North America, Switzerland, and Norway, providing him with a vast array of subjects ranging from the wild, mountainous sites of the New World to the rugged landscapes of Northern Europe.

That same year, he received recognition at the Exhibition of Living Masters in The Hague. His talent for capturing nature was further celebrated at the 1873 World Exhibition in Vienna.
