About this motif
Since the 19th century Cologne has been a home port for passenger steamers on the Rhine. Boats still leave the landing stages by the old town for trips to the Middle Rhine and to Düsseldorf.
Peters' etching "Cologne on the Rhine" shows smoking steamships and cargo barges on the river, with the city and cathedral behind under a dramatic cloudy sky. Image about 9 x 9 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
