About this motif
Above the city hall portal is a Latin inscription urging posterity to preserve with dignity the freedom won by their forebears. It sums up the self-image of the Free and Hanseatic City.
Peters' narrow portrait-format etching shows the city hall tower between a column and the arch of the arcades, with flower boxes on the railing below. Image about 6 x 14 cm on an 18 x 24 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
