About this motif
Braunschweig (Brunswick) is the city of Henry the Lion, who expanded his residence here in the 12th century. The old town consists of several historic "islands of tradition" where old buildings are grouped around squares.
Peters' etching shows the Alte Waage (Old Weigh House), a large half-timbered building with a steep roof and jettied storeys, beside a street lined with more half-timbered houses, captioned "Braunschweig – Alte Waage". Image about 9 x 9 cm on an 18 x 24 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
