The work is already mentioned in Kaulitz's biography of 1793. "He was an excellent artist not only as a seal engraver and calligrapher, but also as a draughtsman. Thus he drew the prospect he had of the window of his prison over the city in an exceedingly deceptive and similar manner." (Journal von und für Franken, Geschichte eines Betrügers, 1793, pp. 65-78)
Kaulitz was imprisoned in the prison Männereisen (Schuldturm) on the island of Schütt at the time the paper was written. From his restricted vantage point, he was able to draw a perspective-precise city panorama. The viewer is not only given a detailed overview, but we are also shown everyday situations through the staffage, for example the person in the foreground on the right who is presented with military protection. A new inmate for the men's travel?
A caption held by angels hovers over the entire scene.
