Hôtel de Belle Vue à Deutz vis-à-vis de Cologne, tenu pour J. A. Kimmel.
An ambitious lithographic advertisement for the Hotel de Belle Vue in Deutz, facing Cologne over the Rhine, with a ‘Rhein-Panorama’ printed on the verso.
The finely engraved view of the hotel shows it with its surrounding park lying on the Rhine, bustling with barges, with a bridge over the river full of promenading people. The lithographic map of Cologne indicates the sights worth seeing in the city, while the entirety of the verso is taken up with a lithographic panorama of the River Rhine from Cologne to Dusseldorf and Mainz; to either side are maps showing the railway journey from Cologne to Berlin and to Paris, and at the foot is a view of Cologne Cathedral from the south, with its newly completed towers.
