One view centers on the Markusturm, with an arched passageway, flower boxes, and birds in the foreground, while the other presents the Plönlein, one of Rothenburg’s best-known intersections, with angled streets, towers, and pedestrians. The scenes emphasize the preserved character and historic atmosphere of the town through careful architectural detail and perspective. These works are sought after for the traditional printmaking technique and appeal to collectors of European city views.

From a private collection. Dimensions: 16.75”h x 14”w x .5”d (framed, per artwork). In good vintage condition. See less
