About this motif
Half-timbered and brick houses with tall gables once defined the look of Hamburg's canals. Many were destroyed in the war; those that survive are valuable witnesses to the old merchant city.
Bruck's etching shows, in portrait format, an old half-timbered gabled house with a hoist beam and chimney, with further houses by the water beside it. Image about 10 x 14 cm on a 20 x 25 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
