This is a view of the River Main at Frankfurt, with the Old Bridge at right and a few boats moored in the foreground. Part of the Old Town overlooking the waterway is shown, with medieval buildings including the Saalhof Palace and the Rententurm rendered in faint line. To the left of the Rententurm, in the distance, is Frankfurt Cathedral.
