About this motif
Around 1850 steamships gradually replaced sailing ships on the Rhine. Horses were still used to tow barges upstream.
Peters' etching "Rhine shipping in Duisburg around 1850" shows a paddle steamer, sailing boats and horses on the bank, with the town and a church tower behind. Image about 9 x 12 cm on a 20 x 25 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
