OLD HOUSE-STRASBOURG.
Thomas Willing Balch. 129 the town. It is built in part in the German Romanesque, such as we see along the Rhine, as at Speyer and Worms ; and the remainder is built in the Gothic style, showing German charac- teristics. Thus this great edifice, distinctly a German building in its lines and decorations, dating from 1179 to 1439, * s addi- tional evidence to prove that the Alsacians are of German origin. From the top of the cathedral tower you have a far-reaching view. All
...along the west you see the blue slopes of the Vosges running north and south, which divide the country off from France ; and parallel to them, but a little to the east of Stras- bourg, that great artery of commerce, the Rhine, which com- mercially links Alsace with Germany. Between the mountains and the river lies the plain of Alsace. Beyond the Rhine, far to the east, lies the Black Forest. Looking out from the steeple over the city, I was struck with its resemblance to Nuremberg, as the city of Albrecht Diirer appears from the tower of the cas- tle where the ancestors of the Hohenzollerns used to hold their sway.
