About this motif
The Alte Brücke (Old Bridge) is Frankfurt's oldest crossing of the Main, linking the old town with Sachsenhausen. A statue of Charlemagne stands on it, and a gilded cockerel on a cross, the "Brickegickel", is a Frankfurt original.
Theissinger's etching "Frankfurt a.M., Old Bridge with Emperor Charles" shows the bridge arch with the cross and figure, and the cathedral tower beneath a stormy sky behind. Image about 7 x 9 cm on a 13 x 18 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
