Prints & Etchings: Willy Scholz Signed Hannover Köbelingerstraße Colour Etching

This exceptional original colour etching captures a picturesque historical streetscape of Köbelinger Straße in Hannover, Germany, set against the towering architectural backdrop of the medieval Marktkirche. The composition features beautifully detailed half-timbered houses lining a cobblestone lane complete with a period horse-drawn carriage, rendered with fine linear clarity and subtle, atmospheric colour tinting. 

Created by the listed German painter and graphic artist Willy Scholz (1899–1965), who gained widespread acclaim for his highly detailed architectural and city etchings across Germany. The print is executed using traditional intaglio methods on premium heavy paper, featuring a highly distinct pencil title on the lower-left margin reading "Hannover, Köbelingerstraße / Orig.-Farbradierung" (Original Color Etching). Fine Art Verso & Signature Note: Factual confirmation of the artist's original pencil signature "Willy Scholz" on the lower-right margin, framed beneath non-reflective glass with a clean white multi-layered mat board and dynamic inner gold piping, sealed with a brown paper backing.

Original Intended Use: Listed Fine Art Gallery Display. Alternate Suggested Use: Heritage Wall Art for Executive Study or Collector's Accent.

This view of Köbelinger Straße is of immense historical importance because the stunning half-timbered architectural corridor framing the Marktkirche was heavily leveled by wartime air raids, making this original etching a vital, surviving eyewitness document of a lost old-world streetscape.
