Berlin Panorama (c. 1840)

"Panorama of Berlin seen from the Royal Palace." With its focus on grand architecture, gardens, and broad boulevards and squares, this panorama clearly presents Berlin as the royal seat; the smokestacks in the background only provide an inkling of the city's industrial capacities. Drawing and lithograph by Ferdinand von Laer, c. 1840.
