THE SPIRE OF THE CATHEDRAL (80 METERS) SET ON FIRE
4, September 1807

Notes:  The whole church burned down and the spire was, by the citizens of
Copenhagen, regarded as a symbol of Denmark, trapped in the struggle between
the big European powers. (copperplate, collection of the Royal Library, Copenhagen
