About this motif
Around 1830 Cologne's old town was still densely built up with tall, narrow houses, tight lanes and small squares. In winter, when snow lay on the ground, the otherwise lively streets fell quiet.
Peters' etching "Cologne around 1830, Great St. Martin" shows a snowy lane with a horse-drawn cart, old houses on either side and the soaring church tower in the middle. Image about 7 x 9 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
