About this motif
Shipping on the Rhine has shaped Cologne since Roman times. Barges, freighters and excursion boats still pass right by the old town today.
This miniature by Peters shows the cathedral as seen from the harbour: sailing barges with tall masts lie on the water in the foreground, and behind them rises the silhouette of the cathedral. Image about 5 x 5 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
