EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Copenhagen in 1890, a city that had undergone significant redevelopment following the devastating plague and fire of the 18th century. The Danish capital, known for its rich history and cultural heritage, flourished during the Danish Golden Age, which is beautifully reflected in the neoclassical architecture seen here. The image captures a typical day in this historic city, showcasing its traditional charm and urbanization. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of the sea, adding to Copenhagen's allure as a coastal metropolis. The landscape is dotted with windmills symbolizing Denmark's agricultural roots while also hinting at its modernization. Printed within "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" compiled by Edmund Ollier in 1890, this engraving offers us a window into an era long gone. It serves as both a testament to Copenhagen's resilience after facing adversity and an ode to its artistic achievements during this period. As we gaze upon this aged photograph, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in literature and exploring historical landscapes that have shaped our world today. Though created by an unknown artist over a century ago, it continues to captivate viewers with its monochrome beauty and timeless appeal.
