Pictures by Lilian Lancaster
Lilian Lancaster's 1868 caricature map turns the islands of Denmark into faces in fur caps, with a royal coat of arms and the old names of the seas around them. The verse that went with it named Shakespeare's Hamlet, prince of Denmark, and the Princess of Wales, who was born a Danish princess. For a traveller, a map lover or anyone with Danish roots.
