The Börsen, Copenhagen, 1858. 17th-century building in the capital of Denmark. 'The Danish capital is a quaint, motherly old town, without any show; and looks as if it had not altered for years, and never would alter. The architecture is of the sober order, semi-rural, semi-urban, rarely Gothic; here and there a dismal palace stands on a torv or place; the animation is concentrated by the canals, where stands the Börsen (Exchange), a beautiful building, with spire of twisted dragons' tails...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
