About this motif
Long before excursion boats, sailing vessels and barges defined the scene on the Rhine at Cologne. For centuries the city was one of the most important trading ports on the river.
Peters' etching "The Cathedral of Cologne" shows the cathedral high above the bank, with colourful sails and boats on the water in front. The warm colouring emphasises the contrast between the dark stone facade and the lively activity on the river; image about 8 x 11 cm, framed on request.
