About this motif
Düren lies on the Rur between Aachen and Cologne and has been known for its paper industry since the 19th century. The town was almost completely destroyed in November 1944, which makes old views especially valuable today.
Peters' etching "Düren, view from the south-west" shows the town in the distance beyond a stretch of water, figures in early 19th-century dress in front and large trees at the sides. Image about 9 x 12 cm on a 20 x 25 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
