About this motif
Around 1800 Cologne was under French rule. Yet the medieval walls and towers on the riverbank still shaped the city, as did the many ships moored in front of the old town.
Peters' etching "Cologne around 1800" shows, in landscape format, a round defensive tower on the left, ships on the bank and the long skyline with the unfinished cathedral and a bridge of boats. Image about 7 x 16 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
