Reinhardt studied in Leipzig, Dresden and Munich, among others with Johan Christian Clausen Dahl and Albert Zimmermann . In the 1840s and 1850s he led an unsteady wandering life as a landscape painter, writer and caricaturist, much like his contemporary Herbert König . During this time he worked for the Kladderadatsch , Die Gartenlaube and the Leipziger Illustrirte Zeitung , for which he made numerous portraits of people. Carl August Reinhardt often identified his work with a signature made up of the intertwined letters C and R, above which an A in the shape of a roof.

As early as 1848, Reinhardt published Meister Lapp and his apprentice Pips in the Fliegende Blätter , albeit unfinished. This comic was only shown in its entirety in the book edition by Braun & Schneider in 1851. Reinhardt is one of the forefathers of comics with his drawings and caricatures published by Gustav Weise in the Deutsche Bilderbogen for young and old published by Gustav Weise in Stuttgart between 1867 and 1873 . These picture sheets were based on the Munich picture sheets that had been published in Munich since 1848 .

Reinhardt illustrated works by authors of his time. For example, Friedrich Gerstäcker published his lithographs in volumes 2 to 4 of Nach Amerika from 1855.

In 1860, Reinhardt, well known but marked by illness and unsuccessful in business, moved to Dresden , where he published several self-illustrated novels and comedies and, from 1872, the illustrated weekly newspaper Der Calculator an der Elbe . In 1877 Reinhardt opened an inn of the same name on Neue Straße in Kötzschenbroda, Der Calculator an der Elbe , which remained in existence years after his death in 1877 and was later shortened to Zum Calculator . Reinhardt was a member of the Hamburg Artists' Association from 1832 .
