About this motif
The canals are exposed to the tidal flow of the Elbe, and their water level rises and falls twice a day. On the quay walls you can clearly see how high the water can rise.
König's miniature shows a timber sheet-pile wall by the water, with brick buildings and two tall, pointed church spires behind, one of them green-patinated. Image about 5 x 5 cm on a 12 x 12 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
