Rohbock - Sibiu, Hermannstadt, Nagy-Szeben - 1864
Description
Old steel engraving signed by Ludwig Rohbock and Johann Richter, included in the historic work ‘Ungarn und Siebenbürgen in malerischen Original-Ansichten’, published by Gustav Georg Lange (Darmstadt, 1863-1864) with accompanying texts by János Hunfalvy.
The engraving captures the town’s most significant religious landmarks of Hermannstadt (Sibiu) as they stood around 1850. The view is taken from the Cibin River, where local inhabitants are depicted going about their daily lives: crossing the river with a horse-drawn cart and washing clothes near a herd of cattle.
