About this motif
In the Second World War the buildings on the Gendarmenmarkt were badly damaged. Their reconstruction continued into the 1980s and 1990s.
Sommer's etching shows the square in a historical scene with riders and strollers, the cathedral on the left, the playhouse in the middle and the colonnaded front of the second cathedral on the right. Image about 12 x 16 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
