Eckernforde, on the Night of September 12-13, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Eckernforde, on the Night of September 12-13, 1850. Scene from the First Schleswig War: "The Schleswig-Holstein army, advancing by Breckendorf and Kochendorf, with a side corps detached towards Eckernforde [now in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany], a violent engagement took place...It concluded speedily at Eckernforde with the capture of three strong fieldworks thrown up by the Danes south of the town...The Danes having been expelled from Kochendorf and Westerthal, one column advanced [and] discovered that the town had been given up by the Danes. Their appearance led to a sort of bombardment of the town by the Danish men-of-war, and the place was not occupied out of consideration for the fate of its peaceful inhabitants. But the Danish men-of-war nevertheless found on their appearance a good excuse for firing the large wood-yard...". From "Illustrated London News", 1850
