The Schleswig-Holstein Difficulty: General de Meza, Commander-In-Chief of the Danish Army at the Dannewerk Position, 1864. 'Many of our readers will doubtlessly feel surprised at the oddity of the Portrait of the General here given. This, however, is from a photograph taken in Copenhagen, in which his Excellency appears dressed in the negligé of morning attire rather than decked out in all the splendour of a Commander-in-Chief's uniform. But De Meza, like many a great man, has his peculiarities, and, instead of dazzling the world with the bright shoulder-knots and decorations of military paraphernalia, prefers rather to let himself be recognised in the unostentatious dress of morning civilian life'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
