About this motif
The flat Rhine plain around Mannheim offered wide views of the city. Avenues and gardens lay in front of the fortress ramparts.
Titled "general view of the city", this engraving after Boße (engraved by Grünewald) shows two mighty trees and a single column in the foreground, with Mannheim's skyline far behind. A large format with about 20 x 26 cm of picture area on 32 x 42 cm paper – plain, watercoloured or framed.
