The Schleswig-Holstein Difficulty: the Palace of Gottorf, at Schleswig, 1864. Creator: Unknown
The Schleswig-Holstein Difficulty: the Palace of Gottorf, at Schleswig, 1864. The Gottorf Palace is situated on one of the little islands that are formed by the creeks jutting, as it were, out of the bay, or fjord...the palace itself appeared like a long whitewashed barrack building, without the least pretence to architectural ornament'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

The Schleswig-Holstein Difficulty - the Palace of Gottorf, at Schleswig, 1864
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the stark beauty of the Gottorf Palace amidst a wintry landscape. The print transports viewers back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into a bygone era where architecture was simple yet striking.
The image depicts the palace as a "long whitewashed barrack building," devoid of any elaborate ornamentation but exuding an air of grandeur nonetheless. Situated on one of the islands formed by creeks in the bay or fjord, it stands as a testament to both Danish and Prussian history during times of conflict such as the Dano-Prussian War.
In this scene, ice skaters glide gracefully across a frozen pond near the palace, adding life and movement to an otherwise still tableau. The icy setting evokes feelings of nostalgia and tranquility, inviting viewers to imagine themselves partaking in leisurely activities against this picturesque backdrop.
Overall, this print offers a window into a world long past, where architecture met nature in perfect harmony and people found solace in simple pleasures during tumultuous times. It serves as both a historical document and a work of art that continues to captivate audiences with its timeless charm.
