Peter Thonning and Denmark's Guinea Commission
Several years before Denmark legislated against the Atlantic slave trade in 1792, the government, anticipating the decline of production in the Danish West Indies as a consequence, embarked on a policy of agricultural colonization in West Africa. Peter Thonning, a young natural historian of the highly economic and geographical Linnaean school, spent three formative years in Africa and then for decades administered Denmark's African colonial under…

The Danish Ban on the Atlantic Slave Trade and Denmark's African Colonial Ambitions, 1787–1807
On 16 March 1792, King Christian VII of Denmark, his own incompetent hand guided by that of the young Crown Prince Frederik (VI), signed decree banning both the importation of slaves into the Danish West Indies (now the United States Virgin Islands) and their export from the Danish establishments on the Guinea Coast, in what is now Ghana. To soften the blow to the planters of the Danish West Indies and to secure the continued production of sugar,…
Peter Thonning's Map of Danish Guinea and its Use in Colonial Administration and Atlantic Diplomacy, 1801–1890
The cartographic record of Denmark's one-hundred and-eighty-year colonial adventure on the Guinea Coast is completely dominated by more than a dozen manuscript versions and copies of a single map of the Danish African enclave sent in to the central colonial administration from Africa in 1802. This unusually rich and large-scale map was compiled by a natural historian named Peter Thonning, who had no prior experience with making maps and no connec…

An Early Map and the Cadastral Survey of St. Croix, Danish West Indies 1734-41 / A Cartographic Cul-de-sac
In 1733, the Danish West India and Guinea Company, in which the upper levels of Danish politics and commerce were involved, purchased the Caribbean island of St. Croix. The Company was for a surprising time unable to marshall the cartographic and organizational expertise and resources needed to make satisfactory maps of its important new colonial acquisition. One result was a drastic discrepancy between the actual area of the island and calculate…

Peter Thonning and the natural historical collections of Denmark's Prince Christian (VIII), 1806-07
One of the finest natural historical collections in Denmark in the first half of the nineteenth century, toward the end of the age of great private cabinets, was that of King Christian VIII (1786-1848, king from 1839). It was founded as the young Prince Christians instructional collection; the teaching took a strong hold on him, and the prince in time came to possess «a mineralogical and malacological collection of real scientific significance», …
