About this motif
Around 1860 Cologne's Rhine harbour was full of life: cranes unloaded ships, carts brought goods into the city, and the bank was lined with warehouses and inns.
Peters' etching "Cologne's Rhine Front around 1862" captures this bustle in strong colours: sailing ships and barges at the quay, carts and people on the bank, with Great St. Martin and the city's towers behind. Image about 10 x 14 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
