"Der neue Jungfernstieg", Hamburg view on the Inner Alster, reproduction, company plaque Reproduction/paper, titled in print lower centre "Der neue Jungfernstieg", inscribed in print lower right, plaque on the frame inscribed "1. Preis Verkaufswettbewerb 1971 Walsroder Folien", period document, coloured view of the promenade on the Inner Alster with row of trees and bollards, strollers with top hats and hats, on the left a view across the water with sailing boats to the city skyline with church towers, on the right a light multi-storey row of houses with dormers, on the street a horse before an open carriage with a gentleman and a lady, good condition, image 22x32 cm (HxW), passe-partout, glazed, framed, frame chipped and with small losses to the veneer, overall 40x52 cm (HxW) The Neuer Jungfernstieg lies on the west bank of the Inner Alster in Hamburg's Neustadt and was laid out around 1825, after the ramparts had been demolished and the Esplanade built. The tree-lined waterfront promenade includes the Amsinck House, built from 1831 to 1833 by Franz Gustav Forsmann for the banker Gottlieb Jenisch. The model for the sheet is probably a view from the workshop of the brothers Peter Suhr (1788–1857) and Cornelius Suhr (1781–1857), whose lithographs shaped the image of Hamburg in the first half of the 19th century and are collected today as Hamburgensia. The name Walsroder Folien probably refers to the firm Wolff Walsrode, founded in 1815 as a powder mill in Bomlitz, which later made cellophane films and belonged to the Bayer group from 1974. The sheet was awarded in 1971 as first prize in a sales competition.
