Légende

Ehrenbreitstein and Coblentz, 1845. Boats on the River Rhine in Germany: 'Ehrenbreitstein (Honour's broadstone), the Gibraltar of the Rhine, connected with Coblentz by a bridge of boats: it commands a glorious view of the junction of the Rhine and Moselle, and of the course of the Rhine from Stolzenfels down to Andernach. Every reader of "Childe Harold" [by Lord Byron] will remember "Ehrenbreitstein with her shatter'd wall." It is, however, now no longer a ruin. Since 1814, the Prussians have restored the fortress, and added new works, which have only recently been brought to a conclusion; and it is now considered to be stronger than ever'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
