Capturing Light: Photographic Innovations of the Late 19th Century, 1897
Located in Langweer, NL
This is an original antique print titled 'Photographische Apparate II'. It shows various photo equipment and cameras. This print originates from Volume 5 of Meyers Konversations-Lexikon, published between 1893 and 1897.
Meyers Konversations-Lexikon or Meyers Lexikon was a major encyclopedia in the German language that existed in various editions, and by several titles, from 1839 to 1984, when it merged with the Brockhaus Enzyklopädie.
Joseph Meyer (1796–1856), who had founded the publishing house Bibliographisches Institut in 1826, intended to issue a universal encyclopaedia meant for a broad public: people having a general knowledge as well as businessmen, technicians and scholars, considering contemporary works like those of Pierer and Brockhaus to be superficial or obsolete.
The cameras in more detail described:
The print titled "Photographische Apparate II" features a detailed collection of photographic equipment from the late 19th century. This would have been state-of-the-art technology at the time, showcasing the various types of cameras and accessories used in the field of photography.
The print originates from Meyers Konversations-Lexikon, which was a major German encyclopedia that was known for its comprehensive and well-illustrated articles. The fact that this print comes from Volume 5 of the encyclopedia, published between 1893 and 1897, places it at the end of the 19th century, a period of rapid advancement in photographic technology.
The apparatuses shown include:
1. **Darkroom lamps and safelights** used to provide illumination in darkrooms without affecting light-sensitive materials.
2. **Various camera designs**, including folding cameras, box cameras, and plate cameras, reflecting the technological diversity of the time.
3. **A camera with a plate magazine** allowing for multiple exposures before needing to reload.
4. **A stereo camera...

Pastoral Elegance: Ulrik Thersner's 1824 Aquatint of Djursholm Castle
Located in Langweer, NL
This beautiful original hand-colored antique print, made by Ulrik Thersner in 1824, is a fine example of his work. Thersner, known for his detailed and atmospheric landscapes, would have drawn this view of Djursholm Castle with great care, capturing not only the architectural features of the castle but also the surrounding natural landscape and pastoral life, as seen in the foreground with figures and livestock.
The aquatint technique allowed Thersner to produce gradations of tone that give the print a remarkable depth and a lifelike quality, a characteristic that was particularly prized in the early 19th century for the way it mimicked the subtleties of watercolor paintings.
The composition of the print, with the castle situated amidst the verdant trees and the inclusion of human and animal figures, creates a harmonious balance between the built environment and the natural world, reflecting the romantic sensibilities of the time. The view "from the S.E. angle" provides a unique perspective of the castle, emphasizing its prominence and setting within the landscape.
As a historical document, the print serves as a valuable visual record of Djursholm Castle and its environs in the early 1800s. As an artwork, it stands as a testament to Thersner's skill as an artist and his contribution to the tradition of Swedish topographical art.
More about the maker:
Ulrik Thersner was a multifaceted individual, having an impactful military career alongside his work as a draftsman and topographer. Born on April 2, 1779, in Kyrkslätt parish in Finland, Thersner began his military service early, becoming a ship's boy in the Swedish navy at the tender age of seven. His naval service during Gustav III's Russian War...
