About this motif
In the 17th century ferries and cargo boats moored on Speyer's Rhine bank. Even then the cathedral towered above the bustle of the harbour.
Peters' etching "Harbour scene around 1653", after an old original, shows the cathedral towers on the left, a ferry with horses and a cart, a sailing ship and boats on the water and a large tree on the right. Image about 9 x 12 cm on a 20 x 25 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
