About this motif
Berlin still has tens of thousands of gas street lamps – one of the largest gas lighting networks in the world. Their warm light shapes the old residential quarters in particular and is part of the city's charm.
König's small etching "Old Lantern" shows an ornate street lamp in the foreground, with a gabled brick building and large trees behind, rendered in cool shades of blue and green. Image about 5 x 5 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
