No other main European museum is documented to such degree. In fact, the book is a study into a highly important aspect of the Danish "Golden Age" of the days of Søren Kierkegaard and Hans Christian Andersen.

This book is especially an Album Amicorum, filled with reminiscences and intentions to continue the work. The voluminous size of this book may be considered as an adequate measure of the overall sympathy for Prof. Van Doorselaer.
