EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print captures the solemn and poignant scene of Mindeblad om Danmarks Haedersdag, Battle of Copenhagen in the early 19th century. The artwork serves as a memoir to the Danish heroes who fought bravely in the battle on 2 April 1801, with portraits of fallen officers adorning the piece. The intense confrontation left a devastating toll on both sides, with 370 dead and 665 wounded among the Danish forces, and 253 dead and 658 wounded among the British forces.
The lithography by Baerentzen & Co beautifully depicts the somber aftermath of this historic naval battle that took place off the coast of Denmark. The detailed engravings showcase military uniforms, naval fleets, and scenes of death and mortality that are hauntingly realistic.
As we gaze upon this historical artifact from the National Maritime Museum in London, we are transported back to a time when Europe was embroiled in conflict and nations clashed at sea for supremacy. This print is not just a work of art but also a reminder of sacrifice, courage, and loss that war brings.
Let us remember those who gave their lives in service to their countries as we reflect on this powerful image captured in lithograph form during one fateful day in history.
