Bayen Thurm, Cologne, 1845. Creator: Ebenezer Landells
Bayen Thurm, Cologne, 1845. Boats on the River Rhine at Cologne in Germany, with the Bayenturm in the background....the picturesque river scenery of the suburbs, and its industrial population; for they attend to matters of more import than dancing and beer-drinking at the guinguettes. In the distance is seen a steamer, strangely jostling with the Roman Colonia [the tower dates from 1220], and the times when Cologne was called " the Rome of the North". From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Bayen Thurm, Cologne, 1845" takes us back to the picturesque river scenery of Cologne in Germany during the 19th century. The image showcases boats gracefully navigating the River Rhine with the magnificent Bayenturm tower standing proudly in the background. This tower, dating back to 1220, serves as a reminder of Cologne's rich Roman history when it was known as "the Rome of the North". The scene captured by Ebenezer Landells transports us to a time when industrialization was transforming this vibrant city. In contrast to popular guinguettes where dancing and beer-drinking thrived, we see an industrious population attending to matters of greater importance along the riverbanks. Amidst this bustling activity stands a steamer, symbolizing progress and modernity intertwining with ancient architecture. Landells' engraving beautifully captures this juxtaposition between past and present. Published in "Illustrated London News" in 1845, this historical artifact offers insight into Victorian Britain's fascination with distant lands and cultures. It provides viewers with a glimpse into Germany's geography while showcasing Landells' talent for capturing intricate details through his meticulous engravings. As we admire this remarkable piece from Heritage Images collection today, let us appreciate how it encapsulates both beauty and significance within its monochromatic frame—a testament to Landells' skill as an artist and historian alike.
