About this motif
Hamburg's "Fleete" are narrow canals along which goods used to be brought right up to the merchants' warehouses. The Bleichenfleet in the Neustadt owes its name to old bleaching meadows.
Scholz's large etching shows the canal with barges in the foreground, old gabled houses on both sides and a pointed church spire at the end. Image about 20 x 26 cm on a 32 x 42 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
