Beskrivning

This beautiful antique engraving depicts Stegeborg Castle, a historic fortress located in Östergötland County, Sweden. The work originates from Fordna och närvarande Sverige (Ancient and Modern Sweden), a landmark series documenting notable Swedish landscapes and architecture, published in Stockholm between 1828 and 1867. The composition reflects the quiet majesty of the castle ruins within their natural setting.

Ulrik Thersner (1779–1828) was a Swedish military officer, hydrographer, and artist who led the production of Fordna och närvarande Sverige. Beginning his naval career during Gustav III’s Russian War, Thersner advanced through military ranks while conducting survey expeditions across Sweden. His engravings represent a unique intersection of topographical accuracy and artistic expression, preserving the built environment of 19th-century Sweden.
