About this motif
Behind the facades of Old Berlin lay narrow courtyards with wooden galleries, stairs and extensions. Many of these corners have disappeared and survive only in pictures.
Holleck-Weithmann's etching "Old Berlin, Courtyard Corner in Petristraße" shows such a courtyard with angular wooden balconies, windows and stairs in strong, dark lines. Image about 12 x 16 cm, black and white, also hand-coloured, framed on request.
