About this motif
The Rhine made Cologne rich: for centuries the city held the staple right, which obliged passing merchants to offer their goods here. In the harbour, sailing ships, towed barges and later steamers came together.
The etching "In the Harbour of Cologne" shows the bustle on the quay: sailing ships moored side by side, a smoking steamer and behind them the city's silhouette with its church towers. An atmospheric print by Peters, image about 8 x 11 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
