About this motif
Harsh winters used to fill the Rhine at Cologne with drift ice. The ferries then stopped running, and people came down to the bank to watch the spectacle.
This wide panorama by Peters shows such an icy landscape: floes on the river, snowy banks with bare trees and, in the distance, the city with the cathedral and bridge. Landscape format about 7 x 16 cm, very atmospheric as a black-and-white print, also hand-coloured, framed on request.
