This print is typical of Mayer-Marton's etching practice in pre-Second World War Vienna, where he became well-known as a prominent member of the progressive artists' group known as the Hagenbund. Other examples from the same period include a slightly earlier topographical view of the Danube (1922) and another of figures toboganning down a snowy hill (1924), both held by the British Museum Prints & Drawings department.
