Original
hand
coloured
etching
of
'Die
Pfalz'
on
the
Rhine
Germany.
Measures
25
cm
long,
18
cm
deep,
actual
etching
measures
12
cm
long,
8.5
cm
deep.
I
believe
this
could
be
quite
old,
written
in
pencil
"Die
Pfalz
Orig
Etching
Slieter"
I
think
I
have
spelt
artist's
name
correctly
as
was
a
little
difficult
to
decipher.
I
have
another
original
etching
for
sale
by
same
artist
of
Koblenz
Cathedral.
The
Pfalz
Castle
(Die
Pfalz)
is
located
on
a
tiny
island
in
the
Rhine
River
just
off
Kaub
Germany.
Today,
this
is
probably
the
most
photographed
castle
on
the
Rhine.
Built
in
the
13th
Century,
this
castle
along
with
the
Burg
Gutenfels,
made
the
town
of
Kaub
one
of
the
wealthiest
on
the
river.
When
boats
would
approach,
the
castle
would
raise
chains
to
the
opposite
bank
of
the
river.
If
the
boat
paid
a
toll,
it
could
pass
without
a
problem.
If
tolls
were
refused,
the
boat
would
be
seized
and
the
crew
was
put
on
a
raft
in
the
well
of
the
Pfalz
castle.
Boats
that
tried
to
bypass
the
tolls
would
be
ripped
to
pieces
from
the
chains
and
the
strong
current.
