ANCKARSVÄRD, M. G.
Calmare slotts ruin lithographierad af M. G. Anckarsvärd.
Stockholm. Lith. hos Gjöthström & Magnusson. 1828-1829. 42 x 30,5 cm. Wrapper + 6 pp. + 4 lithographed plates. Original green/gray wrapper with title at the front. Wrapper somewhat faded and with small tears in the margins. A few brown spots to the text. Some brown spotting to the margins of the plates. A couple of small brown spots in the image areas. Very good condition.
¶ Wonderful lithographs showing the famous Calmar Castle and its sorroundings in the south of Sweden. This is one of the nine parts to the work "Sweriges Märvärdigaste Ruiner" (The most Peculiar Ruins in Sweden). Anckarswärd shows his ability to create lively compositions, in contrast to most other Scandinavian artists of the time. The pictures have a lovely balance and presence. Anckarswärd exhibits his skill in making trees, people and animals come alive. He is the best landscape lithographer Sweden has ever possessed. Anckarswärd also lithographed the plates to "Svenska och Norrska Utsigter" (Views of Sweden and Norway), and contribiuted to "Fordna och Närvarande Sverige" (Ancient and Present Sweden) by Ulrik and Thora Thersner, which besides "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna" stands out as the greatest work on swedish topography ever produced. Rare in original wrappers.
