The Second Schleswig War, also known as the Danish-Prussian War of 1864, was a conflict that saw Prussian troops storming Danish positions at the Battle of Dybbol. The war took place in Denmark and Schleswig, with various engravings capturing key moments and scenes from this historical event. One engraving depicts the intense battle at Dybbol, where Prussian troops launched a fierce assault on Danish positions. Another engraving showcases the Redoubts Nos 4, 5, 6, and 7 at Duppel, illustrating both Danish and Prussian outpost sentries guarding their respective territories. Amidst the chaos of war, an engraving portrays the ruins of the Langaa Railway Bridge in Jutland that had been recently destroyed by Prussian forces. Meanwhile, another image captures King Frederick VII of Denmark visiting his North-Sea Squadron upon its return to Copenhagen after engaging in naval warfare. The relentless fighting continued as depicted in an engraving showcasing Prince Frederick Charles and his staff directing a determined assault on Redoubt No. 6 at Duppel on April 18th. These illustrations provide glimpses into the intensity and strategic planning involved during this conflict. As hostilities extended further into Denmark's territory, an engraving shows Aalborg in Jutland under occupation by the Prussian Army. This visual representation highlights how vast areas were affected by this war. Not only did Prussia play a significant role but Austria too participated actively. An illustration presents an Austrian camp stationed near Dannewerk while enduring harsh weather conditions including a snowstorm faced by Bohemian Chasseurs from the 18th Battalion. Lastly, an engraving captures defeat for Austro-Prussian forces off Heligoland as they regrouped at Cuxhaven following their loss against Danish resistance. This moment serves as a reminder that victory was not always guaranteed.
