"Det slesvigske Eiderstrømsbæger" (The Schleswig Eider Stream Cup), an 1860 engraving by Julius Magnus-Petersen, depicts a detailed silver cup. It features ornate decorations with a central medallion showing a figure seated by a stream, holding a flag inscribed "1720." This engraved image was created to celebrate the 150th anniversary of a historical event concerning the Eider River in Schleswig. The cup itself is a significant artifact of Danish history, and this artwork serves as a visual record of its design and significance.
