About this motif
In the 19th century Düren's entrepreneurial families founded numerous factories for cloth, paper and felt. Some of these firms still exist today.
Peters' etching "Das Haus zum Rad" shows a street with tall town houses and shops, a church tower on the right and a carriage and passers-by in front; the caption names it as the place where the Heimbach company was founded in 1811. Image about 9 x 12 cm on a 20 x 25 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
