This wonderful old map of Copenhagen was originally published in 1853. It was created by MIllard Fillmore.
This is an early colourful city street map of Copenhagen, a few years after King Frederik VII converted Denmark into a constitutional monarchy.
In the mid-19th century, as it is today, Copenhagen was the largest city in Denmark. However, the population was approximately 130,000 compared to today's 600,000!
This was also the time in which the ramparts of the city opened to allow new housing to be built around the lakes and unrestricted permission to build property outside the lakes, allowing considerable growth to the city.
This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16in (30.5x41cm), 16x20in (40.5x51cm), 18x24in (45.5x61cm), 24x30in (61x76cm), 32x40in (81.5x102cm), 40x50in (102x127cm), 48x60in (122x153cm) and 56x70in (142x178cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 50in (127cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
The model in the listing images is holding the 16x20in (40.5x51cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
Please note the unframed 24x30in (61x76cm) map has white edges around the map. These edges can help you with framing, or if you don’t need them they are very easy to snip off with scissors. All other maps, including the framed maps, look exactly like the listing images.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, another option would be this amazing map of Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein by Archibald Fullarton and Co. in 1872.
The locations on this map include: Borsen, Slotsholmen, Arsenal, Holmen, Kastellet, Rosenborg Castle, Christianshavn, Freetown Christiania and The King's Garden.
Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone interested in Copenhagen or the history of the capital of Denmark.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
