The War in Denmark: Prussian troops leaving Altona for Schleswig...at the railway station, 1864. Creator: Frederick John Skill
The War in Denmark: Prussian troops leaving Altona for Schleswig - the officers taking a hasty meal at the railway station, from a sketch by our special artist, 1864. Under the impression that the allied army is now taking possession of Schleswig to deliver it up to the Prince of Augustenburg, a change in the public feeling in Holstein has, we learn, taken place since it was known that the troops had crossed the Eider. This change is nowhere more conspicuous than in Altona, where the Prussians and Austrians were at first received, not only with coolness and suspicion, but in many of the streets with hoots and hisses. But, now...the enthusiasm of the mob is as much in favour of the allies as it was previously against them...when the celebrated regiment of the Prussian Foot Guards called "Kaiser Franz, "...arrived at the Holstein frontier and entered Altona... they were received by the assembled populace with loud cheering, and escorted by them...to the terminus, where they were treated with refreshments, at the expense of the town, previous to being forwarded by special trains to the front. In the course of the afternoon several other Prussian corps arrived, and were received in the same way with noisy demonstrations of joy'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment during The War in Denmark in 1864, as Prussian troops are seen leaving Altona for Schleswig at the railway station. The officers can be seen taking a hasty meal before continuing their journey. The scene is filled with tension and anticipation, as the public mood in Holstein shifts from suspicion to enthusiasm upon learning of the allied army's arrival.
The image reflects the changing sentiments of the people towards the Prussian and Austrian troops, who were initially met with coolness and even hostility. However, as news spread that they were there to deliver Schleswig to the Prince of Augustenburg, attitudes began to shift. In Altona specifically, where hoots and hisses had once greeted them, now cheers and celebrations erupted as they arrived at the railway station.
The sight of the renowned regiment of Prussian Foot Guards being welcomed with open arms by the populace is a powerful symbol of this transformation in public opinion. As more Prussian corps arrived throughout the day, they too were met with joyous demonstrations from the crowd.
This print not only captures a historical moment but also serves as a reminder of how quickly perceptions can change in times of war and conflict.
