About this motif
Hamburg's old canals were working routes, not tourist attractions – soot, tar and the scent of spices hung in the air. It is precisely this everyday life that makes historical views so vivid.
Geissler draws the canal as a deep gorge of dark house fronts, with the spire glowing in the distance and the water gleaming in the foreground. Large portrait format with a picture area of about 20 x 26 cm, plain, coloured or framed.
