Brunet V, 57 (dating the work l693-l714). BMC (dating it 1723). An extremely ambitious topographical gazeteer of Sweden's cities, palaces, great houses, public buildings, gardens, natural wonders and antiquities, as drawn principally by Count Dahlberg over a twenty-year period and engraved by some of Europe's foremost printmakers. The cost of preparing the collection was underwritten by King Charles XI and the the bulk of the edition was reserved for presentation purposes. A Latin descriptive text by Lagerlöf was begun but never completed. Several of the dramatic folding panoramas are quite large: the principle view of Stockholm, plate 13 in Part 1, measures 235 x 775mm.
