This is a 1955 Politiken pictorial map of central Copenhagen, Denmark. The map pictorially highlights Copenhagen's most iconic historic buildings.
A Closer Look
Coverage embraces from the famous Little Mermaid statue to the central railway station, with museums, schools, embassies and legations, churches, and government buildings identified. The Christiansborg Palace, City Hall, and The Citadel are particularly striking. Sixteen sites are numerically identified and correspond with an index on the verso. The verso also includes information about hotels, restaurants, and sites outside of Copenhagen, including Hamlet's Elsinore (Helsingør) castle.
