Afterwards he settled in New York City, but spent the years 1882-1886 in Paris where he exhibited regularly in the Salon. As a young artist, he along with Edwin Austin Abbey, Robert Blum, A.B.

A collection of 247 letters, eight original drawings, and two sketchbooks can be found at Columbia University's Rare Book & Manuscript Library.
A contemporary reviewer said of Reinhart:
C. S. Reinhart has become widely known as one of the most versatile illustrators we have produced. Excelling as a draughtsman, he brings to his aid an active fancy that enables him vividly to realize the scenes he undertakes to represent; and he seems equally at home in the portrayal of quaint old-time scenes, or the brilliant costumes and characters of the present day, combined with forcible delineations of scenery.
C.S. Reinhart won the very prestigious First Gold Medal at the Paris Exposition (World's Fair) in 1889 and the Second Silver Medal at the same Paris Exposition in 1889. The Paris Exposition purchased his painting, "Rising Tide".
