DAHLBERG, Erik Jonsson (1625-1703) - Suecia antiqua et hodierna. [Stockholm: Jan Gros de Vries, ca.1690-1715]. An enchanting work celebrating Sweden, considered one of the most beautiful illustrated books ever published in Scandinavia. It was an initiative of King Charles X (1622-1660), who gave Count Dalhberg the task of drawing up a topography of the realm and its provinces, on the model of the "Topographia Galliae" published in Frankfurt by Matthäus Merian in 1655. With the help of some artists, Dalhberg created the drawings and called together, not only from Sweden, but also from France and the Netherlands, the most renown engravers of the time to give life to the splendid plates depicting cities, landscapes, sumptuous palaces with gardens and numerous sites of historical and artistic importance. The text in French and Latin, whose editing had been entrusted to the professors of Uppsala University, was never completed and only some passages were printed and published separately in 1698. 3 parts in one volume oblong folio (401 x 498mm). Engraved titles, complete with the 354 engraved plates indicated in the index and the additional plate "Templum Ulricae Eleonorae" (lacking the final index leaf, titles, plates and indexes applied, first title with small tears not affecting engraving, occasional marginal tears sometimes restored, occasional light staining, a few plates composed of two parts with one being darker than the other). Contemporary calf, gilt titles and gilt and blind-stamped decorations on spine and covers, gilt edges (scuffing and losses). IT DAHLBERG, Erik Jonsson (1625-1703) - Suecia antiqua et hodierna. [Stoccolma: Jan Gros de Vries, ca.1690-1715]. Incantevole opera celebrativa della Svezia, considerata uno dei libri illustrati più belli mai pubblicati in Scandinavia. Si tratta di un’iniziativa del re Carlo X Gustavo di Svezia (1622-1660), che conferì al conte Dalhberg l’incarico di redigere una topografia del reame e delle sue province, sul modello della “Topographia Galliae” pubblicata a Francoforte da Matthäus Merian nel 1655. A tal fine, con l’aiuto di alcuni artisti, Dalhberg realizzò i disegni e chiamò a raccolta, non solo dalla Svezia, ma anche da Francia e Paesi Bassi, i più celebri incisori dell’epoca per dar vita alle splendide calcografie che raffigurano città, paesaggi, sontuosi palazzi con giardini e numerosi siti di interesse storico-artistico. Il testo in francese e latino, la cui redazione era stata affidata ai professori dell’Università di Uppsala, non fu mai terminato, solo alcuni passaggi furono stampati e pubblicati separatamente nel 1698. 3 parti un un volume, folio oblungo (401 x 498mm). Frontespizi calcografici, sono presenti tutte le 354 tavole calcografiche indicate nell'indice e la tavola aggiuntiva "Templum Ulricae Eleonorae" (manca l'ultima carta di indice, frontespizi, tavole e indici applicati, il primo frontespizio con strappetti e pieghe che non toccano l'incisione, occasionali strappetti marginali a volte restaurati, sporadiche lievi macchie, poche tavole composte da due parti una più scura dell'altra). Pelle coeva, titoli e decori in oro e a secco al dorso e ai piatti, tagli dorati (graffi e perdite).

[Stockholm, 1692-1713 and later]. 3 vols. in one, oblong 2 o (365 x 473 mm). 356 etched and engraved plates (the list of plates at end calling for 354, but numbers "46" in vol. II and "38" in vol. III each consisting of two separate plates), including 3 titles, 3 double-page and 10 folding plates, several others printed on two joined sheets, two portraits of King Charles XI of Sweden, a portrait of Dahlberg, and maps, plans, and views by various engravers including J. van den Aveele, Willem Swidde, Jean Marot, Jean Le Pautre, A. Perelle, J. J. von Sandrart, and E. Reitz, most after Count Dahlberg's drawings, the ink numbering of the plates corresponding to the numeration in the 13-page letterpress index (which is also fitted to sizes and includes a Swedish manuscript translation of the Latin plate titles) at end. Numerous plates are cut round platemark and mounted, indicating probable a later issue; (Some folding plates remargined and with repaired tears.) 18th-century Swedish calf over thick boards, spine in seven compartments elaborately gold tooled with drawer-handle and coquillage tools, gilt lettered red morocco lettering-piece in the second compartment (upper joint starting, rubbing to edges, some scrapes to sides). Provenance: J.G. (initials stamped on upper cover). In 1661 Count Dahlberg, Governor of Livonia and Chancellor of the University of Tartu (Estonia), obtained a commission from the Swedish goverment to compile a visual archive of the country's architectural treasures. A team of 18 engravers was hired to transfer his drawings to copperplate (a few of the drawings were by David Klocker-Ehrenstrahl and Elias Brenner). Per Lagerlf wrote a Latin text, but it was only partially printed and never published (it appears in a few copies). It took 21 years to complete the printing of the plates, and the sheets continued to be published throughout the 18th and into the 19th century. During the years in storage many sheets suffered damage to the margins; later issues are thus often characterized by renewed margins. A small number of copies were issued in 1772, with a new title bearing that date. Berlin Katalog 2256; Brunet V:578.
