About this motif
In the 19th century Pariser Platz was an elegant address: aristocratic palaces and embassies surrounded it, and riders, carriages and ladies in wide dresses promenaded in front of the gate.
This etching by H. Sommer (KVCF-B-038) shows such a scene: riders and carriages in front of the gate, ladies with parasols and gentlemen in top hats, with large trees on either side. Image about 8 x 11 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
