About this motif
In the 19th century Berlin grew into a major city, and the Brandenburg Gate moved from the city limits to the centre. Splendid town palaces were built around Pariser Platz.
König's etching in a 15 x 20 cm format shows a historical scene in front of the gate: horse-drawn carriages, ladies in long dresses and, behind them, the gatehouses and lamps. On a 32 x 42 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
