About this motif
The Alster basin, today's Inner Alster, was already Hamburg's front parlour in the early 19th century. Citizens strolled around the water, and rowing boats carried day-trippers across the lake.
Peters' etching "Old Hamburg, Alster Basin" (KVCF-24869) shows sailing ships and rowing boats in front of a row of houses with church towers, the title in script below. Image about 9 x 12 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
