ORIGINAL c1871 'COPENHAGEN FROM THE SEA LITHOGRAPHY BY F LARSEN AFTER A PAINTING BY VILHELM MELBYE, PAINTING SIGNED 1871. C FOLTMARS FORLAG.PRINTED IN EM. BAERENTS & COS LITH INST.' BIRDS EYE VIEW LITHOGRAPH 

This is just a great original piece. Having visited Copenhagen back in the 1980s it has long been one of my favorite cities in the world.  Such a beautiful place.  I have been researching this print and not been able to find another example anywhere but the one in the Norwegian Maritime Museum.  And their example is in not very good shape.  This is a wonderful large view of the City from the water where there are sailing ships in the water.  Image measures 15 1/2 x 24 1/2 inches on sheet measuring 18 1/4 x 26 1/2 inches.  The image and sheet shows some spotting throughout.  Still a clear image but the spots are there.  The bottom margin is trimmed below the title within half the subtitle.  The Maritime Museum shows about 2 more inches margin all the way around.  Margins show some edge tears as well as some tape remnants at the very edges to the backing.  With a cleaning, this could really be a very fine example of this scarce view of Copenhagen.  Print has been shrink wrapped to a foam core backing to help preserve it and would look very good framed as is.  Dont miss this chance to pick up a very rare European Birds Eye View.  FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES.
