1895 Bing & Grondahl Christmas plate
1895 Bing & Grondahl Christmas plate,
designed by F.A.Hallin, is titled
Behind the Frozen Window.
Bing & Grondahl's Christmas plate from
1895 is the world's first Chritmas plate.
Henry Bing had the idea to develop a series
of plates with Danish sceneries.
The first plate in this series titles
Behind the Frozen Window, is a vue over
Copenhagen's skyline from a window at
Frederiksberg castle, which was built by
King Frederik IV in 1704, and used as his
summer residence.
In the background many of Copenhagen's
famous buildings are seen, for instance
Round Tower, The Marble Church, Trinity
Church, The Stock Exchange and The Church
of Our Lady.
Copenhagen was founded in 1167 By bishop
Absalon who built a Castle with three
towers where Christiansborg is now situated,
and these three tower are now part of
Copenhagen's city arms, and also Bing &
Grondahl used this symbol for their pro-
duction.
