SCHÉELE, FRANZ VON:

Gilt ornated blind stamped cloth binding. Gilt titlelt at front cover. Beautiful. A few scratches to the front board. Some wear to the spine. A few marginal stains to the plates. 4 plates with a few staines to the image area. A very well preserved and clean copy of an uncommon plate book.
¶ The plates show views of the landscape and towns of the district of Wermland in the west of Sweden. The people of Wermland can be proud that such an ambitious work of their district was produced in the mid 19th. century. The noble man Franz von Scheele (1795-1863) made this possible. He spent his life promoting Wermland and this book was a part of the effort. He died before all the parts of the book were published. The plates were printed by the leading printer in the country at the time - Salmson. Before the book was finished he had to flee the country because of financial problems (just like Almquist a few years earlier). The printing was finished by Abraham Lundquist. At least three different lithographers executed the plates. Only Strömer is mentioned at the title. He lithographed 8 plates, Schöpel 12 and Nay 8. The remaining 12 are not signed. Scarce.
