This already applies to the 19th century, when photographs could not yet be printed in large numbers. One could say that Paul Frenzeny was a forerunner of photojournalists. He did not travel the world with a camera, but with a sketchbook and pencil. Frenzeny was probably born in France in the 1840s. This means that he arrived in America as an immigrant at a young age, so he was practically born to travel.
At first he threw himself into the adventure of serving in the army of the Mexican Emperor Maximilian I. After his defeat and execution, Frenzeny went to New York to learn to draw and paint. Obviously his results were convincing, at any rate he was hired by the most important magazine in the United States, Harper's Weekly, to travel to the then still Wild West, on the tracks of the early settlers and adventurers. He undertook this journey together with the painter Jules Tavernier. It led him in the years 1873/74 to San Francisco. On the thousands of kilometers of journey, the two of them meticulously recorded their impressions, which formed the basis for detailed and extremely lifelike lithographs that were then published in Harper's Weekly. Fascinated, readers could thus recreate the arduous journeys of the settlers around the warming fire and experience the adventures in their minds.
While Tavernier returned to the East Coast, Frenzeny stayed in the West and with great passion put down on paper his impressions from, for example, Chinatown in San Francisco. Between 1874 and 1882 he also worked for Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper. Then he was obviously drawn back to Europe. He accompanied Buffalo Bill on his tours, where the legendary Wild West was carried to the far corners of the Old Continent in rodeo shows and in show fights between cowboys and Indians. Further journeys took Frenzeny to Guatemala and Mexico, but also across the Yukon in the far northwest of Canada to Siberia and China.
Frenzeny was a real adventurer who shared his experiences with the world through spontaneous sketches and finely executed drawings, printed in high circulation in magazines. What would he have had to tell! Frenzeny remained an illustrator throughout his life, spending the later years as a correspondent in Paris and London, where he died in 1906. In all his travels, however, he still had time to illustrate works from world literature for their early publications. Thus he created fascinating pictures for Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina and Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book.
