Hugo Larsen: View of Charlotte Amalie city and harbour, St. Thomas, 1911,
colour lithography, 66.5 x 88 cm..
This is a poster of a kind that was used in Danish schools around 1900 to
sharpen the attention and powers of attention of the pupils. It is likely
that the poster also contains a political message, i.e. to keep the exotic
colonies as part of Denmark. This work is distinguished by the fact that it
has been made after the artist's return to Denmark.
Thanks to the Danish School Museum for permission to reproduce its copy of the poster.
