About this motif
In 1788 Mannheim was still shaped by its time as the electoral residence of the Palatinate. A few years earlier Elector Charles Theodore had moved his court to Munich.
Peters' wide sheet "Mannheim 1788" presents the town spread out above the broad river; walkers and moored boats occupy the near bank and a tower rises at the right. Picture roughly 7 x 16 cm, paper 20 x 25 cm, offered uncoloured, coloured by hand or in a frame.
