A rare and fine collection of the official printed announcements from Major general Frantz Christopher von Bülow to King Frederick VI in regard to the Dano-Swedish War of 1808-1809.

The Dano-Swedish War of 1808-1809 was a war between Denmark-Norway and Sweden due to Denmark-Norway's alliance with France and Sweden's alliance with the United Kingdom during the Napoleonic Wars. Neither Sweden nor Denmark-Norway had wanted war to begin with but once pushed into it through their respective alliances, Sweden made a bid to acquire Norway by way of invasion while Denmark-Norway made ill-fated attempts to reconquer territories lost to Sweden in the 17th century. Peace was finally concluded on grounds of status quo ante bellum with the Treaty of Jönköping on 10 December 1809.
