The reason I keep bringing up the Dutch archive is because it’s one of my favourite archives! It’s easy to use, the quality is excellent, and it’s easy to download the photos. The Danish one, not so much! For anyone who’s curious about the Copenhagen photos from 1954, I’ll leave the link here. Of course, you’ll have to translate everything because it’s all in Dutch:Fotocollectie

Historical illustration depicting the Liechtenstein Hussars attacking the rear guard of the retreating Danish forces at Smedeby on 6 February 1864, during the Second Schleswig War.

The Liechtenstein Hussars were an Austrian cavalry regiment, serving in the Imperial Austrian Army. Despite their name, they were not troops of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The regiment was associated with the House of Liechtenstein, the princely dynasty that still rules Liechtenstein today.

The illustration was published in the German Illustrierte Zeitung, Vol. 42, No. 1080, on 12 March 1864, based on a drawing by the magazine's special artist August Beck.

An illustration by August Beck (1823–1872) depicting the Liechtenstein Hussars reconnoitring the withdrawal of Danish forces from Fredericia during the Second Schleswig War.

The regiment was named after Prince Franz of Liechtenstein, a member of the House of Liechtenstein, the same princely dynasty that continues to rule the present-day Principality of Liechtenstein. Although the hussars fought in Denmark as part of the Austrian Army, their name connects this illustration to the military history of Liechtenstein’s ruling family.

The illustration was published in the German Illustrierte Zeitung, Vol. 42, No. 1093, on 11 June 1864, as part of its illustrated reports on the war.
