An evocative 17th-century engraving depicting the ancient royal burial mounds and historic election site of Gamla Uppsala, Sweden.

Designed by Erik Dahlbergh, engraved by Adam Perelle. From Samuel Pufendorf's De Rebus a Carolo Gustavo Sueciae Rege Gestis. Published in Nuremberg, 1696.

This detailed topographical print is a significant record of one of Sweden's most important historical sites, showcasing the Baroque style of landscape and architectural illustration prevalent in grand historical publications of the era. The lower panel specifically illustrates the Mora Stenar (Mora Stones), where Swedish kings were elected.

Copperplate engraving. Sheet size approximately 38.0 × 48.0 cm. Very Good.
