About this motif
In the 19th century Mannheim developed into one of the most important inland ports in Europe. Goods from all over the world were handled here.
Peters' etching "The Mannheim free port around 1845" shows sailing ships with flags in front of warehouses, with a laden boat on the water in the foreground. Image about 9 x 12 cm on a 20 x 25 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
