This image, taken from the pages of the Illustrated London News in 1860, showcases the breathtaking cityscape of Coblentz, a fortified town situated on the left bank of the Rhine River in Rhenish Prussia. The city is at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers, with a bridge of boats spanning the former and a stone bridge gracing the latter. In 1860, Coblentz boasted a population of 23,421 and was surrounded by several detached forts, including Ehrenbreitstein on the opposite bank of the Rhine. Defended by approximately 400 pieces of cannon, Ehrenbreitstein was one of the strongest outworks. Coblentz's beauty is unparalleled, as evidenced by its stunning location. Approaching the city by land or water reveals a picturesque scene. Coblentz is a free port and plays an active role in commerce along the Rhine, Danube, and Moselle rivers. The engraved print, produced in the 19th century, showcases the city's architectural wonders and the bustling river traffic. Ships and steamships can be seen transporting goods along the waterways, while the fortifications of Ehrenbreitstein loom in the background. This image offers a glimpse into the history and charm of Coblentz, a city that continues to enchant visitors with its rich heritage and stunning location.
