About this motif
Since the 19th century, permanent bridges have linked the two banks of the Rhine in Cologne; before that, people crossed by ferry and on a bridge of boats. With every new bridge, the old town and Deutz moved closer together.
Peters' etching bears the title "New Bridge and Cathedral": a flat arched bridge runs across the picture, and behind it the cathedral rises above the houses of the old town. Landscape format, image about 9 x 12 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
