The Mälsåker Estate in Dahlberg's 'Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna', 1690
About the Item
The image is a hand-colored engraving depicting the Mälsåker manor, located near Strängnäs in Södermanland, Sweden. Above the image, two coats of arms are displayed, likely indicating the noble families associated with the manor. The engraving is a part of Erik Dahlberg's "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna," which was a comprehensive atlas detailing the landscapes, architecture, and notable sites of Sweden in the late 17th century. The scene is carefully detailed, portraying the manor house alongside a body of water, with several figures and boats illustrating the vibrancy of life around the estate.
The text "Mälsåker" appears prominently above the manor, signifying the subject of the engraving. Below the manor, the words "Mälar Lacus" can be seen, which refers to Lake Mälaren, upon which the manor is situated. This suggests that the manor had a significant location with a waterfront view, which would have been a desirable feature at the time.
The engraving was made by Dutchman Swidde, one of the skilled craftsmen working under Dahlberg's direction, capturing not only the architectural grandeur of the Mälsåker manor but also the natural beauty and social activities of its surroundings. These engravings were particularly valued for their high level of detail and accuracy, serving as records of Sweden's historical environment.
