Beskrivning

This antique engraving by Ulrik Thersner presents a detailed view of a Swedish castle, rendered with architectural precision and scenic natural surroundings. The image was published in Fordna och närvarande Sverige (Ancient and Modern Sweden), a monumental topographical work documenting historical landmarks, castles, and landscapes across Sweden. The series reflects early 19th-century Swedish nationalism and an interest in preserving the country's architectural and military heritage through finely executed engravings.

Ulrik Thersner (1779–1828) was a Swedish military officer and topographical artist. He began his naval service as a child during Gustav III's Russian War and eventually rose to the rank of major in the Swedish Surveying Brigade. From 1804 onward, Thersner was engaged in hydrographic and topographical documentation across Sweden, culminating in the publication of Fordna och
närvarande Sverige, one of the most significant visual records of the nation’s historic architecture.
