About this motif
The straight ditches in the moor were dug by hand to make the land arable. Today they shape the appearance of many moorland landscapes.
Behrens' landscape sheet shows a dead-straight ditch leading into the distance, a fence and a thatched house on the left and tall trees above. Image about 8 x 11 cm on an 18 x 24 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
