About this motif
With the rise of steam navigation in the 19th century, Cologne became a centre of Rhine shipping. Companies based in the city ran services up and down the river.
Peters' etching "Cologne around 1850" shows the harbour with boats and a steamer, people and carts on the quay and, above them, the tower of Great St. Martin. A finely worked print in an 8 x 11 cm format, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
