Description of the subject depicted in the print (from the original source): In the Rheingau you see the renowned vineyard of Johannisberg stretching down the slope below the palace of Prince Metternich; and that of Steinberg, where the grapes grow about the old convent, and the cellars of what was once a church are filled with casks of the richest Rhine wine; and the Marcobrunner vineyard too; and the Rotherberg; and those about the pretty village of Riidesheim as well—all drinking in the sunbeams that, imprisoned in the green berries, give fire and sweetness to the coming wine. And if you travel by the road as we did, you will find the way set with almost one long line of villages and villas. You will see Geisenheim, with its handsome open-work steeples; and the long, straggling village of Lang-winkel—and Oestrich, and Hallgarten—and Elfeld, that was formerly the capital of the Rheingau, with its quaint towers and fine old church; and, lastly, you will reach Biebrich, with its pretty park, and its long palace, beside the Rhine, belonging to the Duke of Nassau; Powered by eBay Turbo Lister The free listing tool.
