About this motif
Around 1800 Düsseldorf's fortifications were demolished, and gardens and avenues were laid out in their place. This marked the start of its development into a green city.
Peters' etching "Düsseldorf around the year 1800" shows the Rhine with ships and a smoking funnel, the town and church tower behind and a green bank in front. Image about 8 x 11 cm on an 18 x 24 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
