He was also represented at the Nordic Exhibition in 1888 and at the World Rxhibitions in Paris in 1889 and Chicago in 1893 and exhibited in Berlin in 178396 and in Munich in 1899. Den Frie Udstilling hosted a special exhibition of his works in 1911.

In the 1890s, he taught perspective both at the Art School for Women and the Academy. He visited Germany, Belgium, Italy and Normandy. [1]
