About this motif
In the 16th century Cologne was one of the largest and richest cities north of the Alps. Large woodcut views of the time showed it as a proud free imperial city with countless church towers.
The large etching "Cologne in the Middle Ages", after such a historical city view, bears the old inscription praising the "far-famed" city of Cologne on the Rhine at the top; below it spreads the panorama with the river, ships and towers. Image about 12 x 16 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
