About this motif
After the French period ended, Cologne passed to Prussia in 1815. In the following decades the cityscape changed only slowly at first – the cathedral was still a building site and the city wall still stood.
The etching "Cologne around 1820" shows a wide river landscape: the Rhine sweeps through the picture in a great curve, the city with its towers lies in the distance, and a sailing boat glides in the foreground. Landscape format by Peters, about 7 x 16 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
