"Kobolzeller
Tower Gate - Rothenburg, Germany," by Paul McGehee. The
beautifully-preserved walled city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber in
Germany is an historical treasure where one can see ancient buildings
covered in the half-timbering known as 'fachwerk' many of which date
back to the 1200's. So beautiful was this one village that, of all the
towns in Europe, the animators at Disney studios modeled Geppetto's
village in "Pinocchio" after it! The medieval walled city could only be
entered through a few gateways where tolls were collected, many years
ago. The Kobolzeller is thought to date back to 1360. Here we see a
snowy winter's day at the famous gateway, with children sledding down
the icy hill! "Kobolzeller Tower Gate - Rothenburg, Germany" is an
archival-quality print in limited edition from the original ink and
watercolor painting...hand-signed and numbered by the artist.
