About this motif
The Stapelhaus on the fish market recalls Cologne's staple right, which brought the city wealth for centuries. Together with Great St. Martin it forms one of the most picturesque ensembles in the old town.
Scholz places the mighty tower of Great St. Martin at the heart of this large etching, with old-town houses to the left and, far off to the right, the tips of the cathedral spires; people stroll across an open square in front. The plate measures roughly 20 x 26 cm; prints come plain or hand-coloured, and we frame them on request.
