About this motif
Around 1850 the Jungfernstieg was a tree-lined promenade where Hamburg's citizens strolled on Sundays. The name is said to come from the young unmarried women who were taken for walks here.
Peters' etching "Hamburg around 1850, Inner Alster" shows an avenue with strollers on the shore, with the water, a bridge, a windmill and distant houses behind. Image about 8 x 11 cm on an 18 x 24 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
