This satirical weekly typically was issued with 8 pages with numbered columns (2-per page).  Filled with short polemics and dozens of caricatures of various public figures in Denmark. A wonderful snapshot of literary and political life in mid-19th century Denmark, often the target of political and police censure due to its scathing depictions of powerful figures.
