About the Item

The manors depicted in this original antique engraving, Kärsö and Malmvik, are located in Sweden. The image is a copper engraving from the famous work "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna," which translates to "Ancient and Modern Sweden." This particular engraving depicts the estates of Kärsö and Malmvik, which are located in Sweden. The work is a collection from the 17th century that provides a visual record of Sweden's historical and contemporary landscapes, buildings, and landmarks. The engraving was created by Erik Reitz, who was active around 1660 to 1696. He was one of the engravers who contributed to the "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna" under the direction of Erik Dahlbergh, who was responsible for compiling and overseeing the creation of this elaborate work. The top part of the image shows Kärsö, with detailed depiction of the manor house and its formal gardens, people walking, and the surrounding landscape, including windmills in the distance. The bottom part shows Malmvik, with its buildings set by the water's edge, boats on the water, and the nearby forestry, all contributing to a serene depiction of these estates. This piece, along with the others in the collection, was intended to glorify the Swedish Empire and illustrate the grandeur and beauty of its manors and landscapes during its period as a great power. The collection is notable for its artistic quality and historical value, giving insight into the architecture and environment of the era. About the manors: Kärsö is an island in Lake Mälaren, situated to the west of Stockholm. Historically, it has been the site of a manor house and estate within the Ekerö Municipality. Malmvik is also located near Stockholm, along the shores of Lake Mälaren, in the municipality of Ekerö. The area around Malmvik has been known for its historic manor and its scenic waterfront views. Today, these areas are part of the greater Stockholm region, which has seen significant development. However, many historical estates and manors around Lake Mälaren have been preserved as cultural heritage sites or have been repurposed for public or private use while maintaining their historical significance.
