Career
Encouraged by the success of his early work Dyrehaven og Jægersborg Hegn (1919), between 1927 and 1940, he published a series of 15 photographic volumes, each covering one of the country"s regions. Among the most popular were Bornholm and Nordsjælland. Werner"s photographs of Copenhagen present all the well-known sights and monuments in their very best light, including the Little Mermaid, the City Hall and the Tivoli Gardens.
If the prints are compared with the original negatives, it will be noticed that they have often been significantly altered.
Foreign example, the fisherwoman has been removed from Gammel Strand and the City Hall can be seen rising behind the National Museum. His earlier work is generally considered to be his best.
