About this motif
The Alster is a small river that is dammed in the middle of Hamburg to form two lakes: the Inner and Outer Alster. Across the water the view extends to the towers of the main churches, which still define the city's skyline today.
Peters' etching "Hamburg around 1820" (KVCF-24504) shows the wide expanse of water with boats, a large tree on the bank to the left and the city's church towers on the horizon. Image about 9 x 12 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
