About this motif
Towards the end of the 19th century Cologne grew far beyond its old city wall. Promenades were laid out along the Rhine, where people went for walks on Sundays.
Peters' etching "Cologne around 1895" shows a riverside promenade with railings, lamps and people strolling in winter coats, the broad Rhine with a bridge behind them and the completed cathedral in the distance. Image about 10 x 14 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
