Kuhl also worked with John Childs at his establishment, known as the "Lithographic Institute," between 1848 and about 1854
when Morris Traubel, Theodore Leonhardt, Edward Schnabel, and John Finkeldey assumed the business. Kuhl is known principally
for printing advertising prints, particularly with William H. Rease, and portrait lithographs during the 1840s and was starting
to branch out into map printing in the early 1850s.
