The paddle wheeler Iris sailed between Aalborg
and Copenhagen from ±πµ≤ to ±π∂∏. Ships were
by far the fastest form of transport at that time.
While Iris could bring passengers to the capital
from one day to the next, it took about a week to
make the journey overland on foot or horseback.
Daguerreotype from ±π∂±.
Gravensgade photographed in ±π∏∂. Today this
street is part of a busy pedestrian precinct, but,
as indicated by the many signs, it was also the
scene of considerable activity in ±π∏∂. Shop
owners or salaried employees often lived in flats
above the shops. Workers had less comfortable
accommodation in the buildings at the back.
