About this motif
Rheinstein Castle near Trechtingshausen was one of the first Rhine castles to be rebuilt in the Romantic era. Prince Frederick of Prussia had the ruin converted into a summer residence in the 19th century.
Peters' etching "New Rheinstein" shows the castle on its rock above the river, with a wide view downstream on the right and figures at a wall in the foreground. Image about 8 x 11 cm after a historical original, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
