About this motif
In the 19th century steel engraving was the most widespread technique for city views, as it allowed large print runs. Many travellers took such prints home as souvenirs.
The city view "Frankfurt around 1850" in the style of a steel engraving shows the bank of the Main with ships, cranes and workers, with the cathedral tower behind. Image about 15 x 20 cm on a 32 x 42 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
