Summary edit

Description
English: View of the "Hamlet's Grave" memorial in Elsinore.

Published in The Illustrated London News, 2 February 1856. An etching of the same view was printed in July 1856 in Frank Leslie's New York Journal of Romance, General Literature, Science and Art.[1]

This is supposed to represent the site in the park of Marienlyst castle, but the artist may have exaggerated the view of Kronborg castle, based on the description:

"At one sweep the eye ranges over the town of Elsinore, the noble fortress of Kronberg, the Sound, the town of Heislngborg on the opposite coast, and the plains of Sweden [...]. Hamlet's grave is marked by a single stone obelisk, evidently of very early date; it is surrounded by tables and chairs, where citizens from Copenhagen consume beer and coffee and defile with their heeltaps the sepulchre of a king."
