Title	"Christiansborg, the old Castle.
Type of title	translation
Original caption	Christiansborg altes Fort.
Description	Note: Veröffentlicht (HB, Sept. 1866). - Dazugeöriger Text: "[...] Am 10 Juli wurde die ganze Goldküste von einem Erdbeben heimgesucht; besdonders heftig wurde Christiansborg getroffen. Manches Haus gewann an jenem ernsten Morgen Risse oder stürzte ganz ein. Auch das Fort teilte dieses Schicksal in so weit, dass es unbewohnbar wurde. Die Besatzung musste eilends ausziehen und in Zelten, welche westlich vom Fort aufgeschlagen wurden, kampiren. Dieses Zeltlager vor dem Fort stellt unser Bild dar."; Note translation: Published (HB, Sept. 1866). - Reference no. changed from QD-30.001.0019a to QD-30.001.0122, which was the next free no. in QD-30.001. (BFN 11.1996). Caption in HB Sep. 1866: On the 10th July the whole of the Gold Coast suffered an earthquake. Christiansborg was especially hit. Many houses on that fateful morning became cracked or, indeed, collapsed. The Castle was no exception, and became uninhabitable. The garrison had to leave quickly and camp in tents which were put up to the west. Our image depicts this camp-site.
