About this motif
In the 19th century the Holsten Gate was dilapidated and was to be demolished. Only by a narrow majority did the citizens' assembly decide to preserve it.
Peters' etching shows the "view of the Holsten Gate and town 1876": the gate with the church towers behind, and a street with market stalls, umbrellas and people in front. Image about 9 x 12 cm on a 20 x 25 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
