About this motif
Before the railway arrived, mail coaches linked Hamburg with other cities. Historical winter scenes on the Alster recall this era of horse-drawn carriages and gas lamps.
Tritt's etching shows a yellow mail coach with horses on a snowy bridge, a candelabrum on the left and the wintry city with church towers behind. Image about 9 x 12 cm on a 20 x 25 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
