Description

Watercolour over pencil heightened with bodycolour. The Neustadt is the main street in Innsbruck and is now known as Maria-Theresienstrasse. To the left is the Spitalkirche built in its present form in 1701-05 and beyond is the City Tower built in the mid fifteenth century. The monument nearest us is the Annasaule or Column of St. Anne which was built to thank St. Anne for the liberation of Innsbruck from Bavarian troops in July 1703.
Callow visited Innsbruck on his ten week honeymoon in the summer of 1846. Callow and his new wife Harriet left Ramsgate on 3rd July and travelled down through Germany from Cologne to Munich then across to Austria. They then went south to Trento, Verona, Vicenza arriving in Venice in mid August where they spent at least four days, returning via Fluelen and Lucerne to England.
