In 1840 Fröhlich gave up his studio and went to Mannheim to study at the art academy there. From there he later moved to the Düsseldorf Art Academy with the support of his lecturers . In the autumn of 1848, when the political situation had calmed down somewhat, Fröhlich returned to Munich.

There he regularly illustrated magazines such as “ Fliegende Blätter ” and “ Daheim ” (especially their various supplements). During this time, his woodcuts were also repeatedly found in the “ Münchener Bilderbogen ”. In addition to his work for newspapers and magazines, Fröhlich also illustrated books from various publishers again and again.
