"Klingen Tower - 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 800 years. 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 Klingen Tower is thought to date back to the 1200's. This view also shows a portion of the "defense wall" which surrounds much of the historic city. "Klingen Tower - Rothenburg, Germany" is an archival-quality print in limited edition from the original oil painting...hand-signed and numbered by the artist. Print image size: 7 1/4" x 9 1/4". Edition size 500 S/N. (Final shipping cost on this small print may indeed be less than actually displayed upon purchase, depending upon destination and weight.)
