EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken from Leopold von Buch's "Travels Through Norway and Lapland" published in 1813, showcases a breathtaking view of The Sund (Oresund or Oresound), the narrow strait that separates Denmark and Sweden. In the foreground, the majestic Kronborg Castle, also known as Elsinore Castle, stands proudly on the Danish coast in Helsingor, Denmark. This medieval fortress, built in the late 15th century, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is famously associated with Shakespeare's Hamlet. Across the strait lies Helsingborg, a historic city in Sweden, visible in the background. The Sund has been a significant strategic location throughout history due to its importance as a shipping route and its proximity to both powerful kingdoms. This stunning copperplate engraving, created by Dell Acqua and hand-colored by Lazaretti, is part of Giovanni Battista Sonzogno's Collection of the Most Interesting Voyages (Raccolta de Viaggi Piu Interessanti), published in Milan between 1815 and 1817. The intricate details of the castles and ships, as well as the vibrant colors, transport us back in time to an era of exploration and discovery.
