Description
Text from Bruun Rasmussen: Present Watercolour by C. W. Eckersberg must be one of the preliminary works which G. L. lahde used for his famous aquatint. Eckersberg and Lahde had a close collaboration in the years 1807–10, where Eckersberg draw the sketches and lahde was the one in charge of publishing the works. There was a great interest in current prints and drawings at that time, such as scenes from the everyday life, but also highly great incidents as in this case: The English bombardement of Copenhagen 1807. In the right side of the picture you see the kings brewery and to the left Langebro. In the front you see different groups and people running away from the fire.

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1853, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
