Illustration by poul steffensen from the danish novel gjøngehøvdingen by carit etlar which takes place during and after the dano-swedish war in 1657-1658. The swedish troops march over the frozen danish belts. They really did this in january and february 1658 but not as close as in drawing because then the ice would have broken under their weight. Date: Original illustration from the 1890s, here reprint from 1909..
