The Manors of Kärsö and Malmvik near Stockholm in Sweden, by Erik Reitz, ca.1690
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.

- "The Battle of Bunker's Hill, Near Boston" Engraving by James Mitan, 1801By John TrumbullLocated in Colorado Springs, COThis dramatic Revolutionary War engraving of the Battle of Bunker Hill is after the famous 1785 oil-on-canvas by John Trumbull. Capturing the intensity of the battle, the engraving centers on Major John Small restraining a “lobster-back” from bayoneting Major General Joseph Warren. Warren lies mortally wounded in the midst of chaos around him. In the background, British forces are seen cresting the last defenses of the brave, yet green army of Colonial soldiers. The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought on June 17, 1775, in the early stages of the American Revolutionary War. The battle is named after Bunker Hill in Charlestown, Massachusetts. Although it was the original objective of both the Colonial and British troops, the area was only peripherally involved in the battle. Rather, the majority of the combat took place on the adjacent Breed’s Hill. The battle pitted a more organized British force against a young and inexperienced American militia. Although considered a tactical victory for the British, it came at the cost of considerable casualties, including a large number of officers. The battle demonstrated that the inexperienced American militia was able to stand up to the British army troops in battle. The battle results discouraged the British from any further frontal attacks against well-defended front lines. American casualties were comparatively fewer, although their losses included Gen. Joseph Warren. During the battle, the patriot-turned-painter John Trumbull (1756-1843) was stationed in Roxbury on the far side of Boston, where he could hear the sounds of fighting. In late 1785, Trumbull decided to devote himself to the depiction of Revolutionary War scenes, a series of eight epic pictures. From the beginning, Trumbull intended for the paintings to be later engraved for sale. Trumbull began the oil-on-canvas of The Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker’s Hill and The Death of General Montgomery in the Attack of Quebec, in the studio of Benjamin West in London. Bunker’s Hill was completed in March 1786; Trumbull started Attack of Quebec in February 1785 and finished it before he brought it to Paris in 1786. He then started The Declaration of Independence at Thomas Jefferson's house in Paris. As soon as Bunker’s Hill was completed, Trumbull searched for a suitable engraver in London. He was unsuccessful, as many British engravers were nervous about engraving an American battle...Category
