An Antique Engraved View Of Waterfalls In Sweden In The 17th C. By Erik Dahlberg , 1705

Chairish

$325

Two antique engraved views on one sheet of "Cataractae Albi Gothicead Trollhaettan" and "Cataractae Albi Gothici ad Pontiff Raunum" (Waterfalls Near Trollhaettan and Raunum), Sweden in 1705 from "Sueciae Antiquae et Hodiernae"' published in Stockholm by Erik Dahlberg (1625-1703). These engravings were created by Johannes van den Aveelen (1650-1727), who was an accomplished copperplate engraver who emigrated to Sweden to work on Dahlberg's spectacular book, "Sueciae Antiquae et Hodiernae", which was focused on the views and architecture of Sweden, both in the ancient past and at the time of the publication. This engraving depicts two large Swedish waterfalls at Trollhättan and Raunum. The falls at Trollhättan on the Göta river are still to this day described as "the highest and most powerful in any river in Southern Sweden; nowhere does a river cut through the landscape in such a dramatic way as it does here." The engraving is presented in a cream colored mat that is suitable for framing. The mat measures 17" x 19.75" and the visible portion measures 11.88" x 14.5". There are two vertical folds as issued. The print is in excellent condition.
