About this motif
Cologne is one of Germany's oldest cities. The Romans founded their colony here on the Rhine, and in the Middle Ages Cologne grew into the largest city of the Empire, a magnet for pilgrims and merchants alike.
The etching "Cologne in the Middle Ages" shows the city from the riverbank: fishermen and traders by the water, behind them church towers, town houses and the mighty Gothic cathedral. Peters' print measures about 8 x 11 cm and is available in black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
