Some colorful buildings around the canals of Copenhagen and people enjoying their quality of life, Copenhagen, Denmark. Also, The statue of the Little Mermaid= An evening in 1909, Carl Jacobsen, founder of the Carlsberg Breweries, attended the Royal Theatre to see 'The Little Mermaid', a ballet choreographed by Hans Beck and Fini Henriques based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. Carl Jacobsen was deeply moved by the performance and subsequently commissioned the sculptor Edvard Eriksen to create a statue of this ravishing mermaid. Edvard Eriksen immediately set to work and had his wife pose as a model. A gift from Carl Jacobsen to the city of Copenhagen, this bronze statue was unveiled at the Langelinie Harbourfront Promenade back in 1913.
