About this motif
Between Bacharach and Lorch, the ruin of Fürstenberg castle towers above the small village of Rheindiebach. Like many castles on the Middle Rhine, it once served to secure tolls and territorial rights on the river.
Peters' etching "Ruins of Fürstenberg" shows the castle on its hill above a country road with walkers, and an old defensive tower on the right. A romantic print after an old original, image about 8 x 11 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
