Philippstadh, View of Filipstad, Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna, print, album page, printmaker: Johannes Jacobsz van den Aveele, Stockholm, supervision: Erik Jönssen Dahlberg, 1702, paper, etching, height 245 mm x width 381 mm, city-view in general, 'veduta', Filipstad, A wide etched landscape shows a town by a body of water with clusters of buildings and several tall church spires rising above the rooftops; smoke rises from a chimney within the town and small boats are visible on the water near the shore. In the foreground a gently sloping, rocky hillside with scattered trees, bushes, and large stones leads down to a dirt path where small groups of people walk and converse; a cart drawn by a horse travels along the path while another horse-drawn vehicle with a seated figure moves toward the viewer. Trees frame the left and right edges of the scene, and distant hills form the backdrop under a sky filled with long, horizontal cloud bands.
