About this motif
The Severin Gate at Chlodwigplatz is one of the few surviving gates of Cologne's medieval city wall. The road south towards Bonn once passed through it.
Peters' etching "Cologne, Severin Gate around 1840" shows the massive gate tower with its battlements, horse-drawn carts passing through the archway and a church tower rising behind. Image about 9 x 12 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
