About this motif
Markets used to be held at the Meßberg near the Zollkanal; traders from the surrounding countryside brought fruit and vegetables into the city by boat. Today the famous Chilehaus stands close by.
In Peters' "Old Hamburg, the Messberg around 1880", moored boats crowd the foreground while market people bustle along the quay beneath gabled facades and a distant spire. Image about 9 x 12 cm on a 20 x 25 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
