Excerpt from A Summer in Scandinavia

This beautiful picture is not the all of Hamburg. There is another side which is, indeed, a contrast, and a walk from the modern to the old town is to step across ages. If there was a luxuriant past, there are no records to be found at the present. Probably no city of Europe, with much less wealth and importance even, has so poor a display of art in any of its departments of architecture, painting, or sculpture, in fact, save one beautiful monument in bronze commemorative of the F ranco-prussian war, there was nothing that repaid a visit.
