About this motif
Mannheim lies at the confluence of the Rhine and the Neckar and was an important trading centre for centuries. The dykes along the Rhine protected the city from floods and invited people to take a stroll.
The print after a drawing by Fries, engraved by Schnell, shows the broad river beneath a sky with sunbeams breaking through, with bushes on the bank and the city in the distance. With the bilingual caption "Ansicht vom Rheindamm – Vue de la digue du Rhin". Image about 12 x 16 cm on 26 x 37 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
