About this motif
Engraving on steel rather than copper allowed artists of the 1800s to cut extremely delicate lines and print many hundreds of impressions from one plate. Such views became treasured keepsakes for visitors to the Prussian capital.
The print from around 1850 shows August Kiß's famous bronze group of a mounted Amazon fighting a panther in front of the columns of the Altes Museum, with strollers in front. Framed with a wide mount and slim gold moulding, outer size about 30 x 35 cm.
