Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Sweden: general view of the city of Stockholm, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Sweden: general view of the city of Stockholm, 1864. View '...from the suburb of Norrmalm, on the north shore of the strait which connects Lake Malar with the Baltic Sea. The principal buildings seen across the water are those upon the Stade island, or cluster of three islets...the larger mass of the town extending for some distance along each shore of the strait by which these little islands are inclosed. The King's Palace, on the islet called Gustavsholm, is shown to the left hand - a vast square pile with a flat roof; then comes the Church of St. Nicholas, in which the kings of Sweden are crowned; in front of this church, nearer the water, is the Radshuus, or House of Commons...[in] the centre of our View is the Riddarhuus, or House of Lords, the position of which is marked by the spire of the German Church (St. Gertrude's) rising behind it; the old Riddarsholm Church, occupying an islet of that name, which has for many generations been the burial-place of Swedish Royalty, is yet more conspicuous, towering above the neighbouring houses. The high ground shown to the right hand, surmounted by the churches of St. Katharine and St. Mary...[belongs] to the peninsula of Sodermalm'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Sweden in 1864, providing a general view of the beautiful city of Stockholm. The image showcases the picturesque landscape from the suburb of Norrmalm, offering a glimpse into the historic architecture and landmarks that define this Scandinavian capital.
In the foreground, we see the tranquil waters of Lake Malar connecting with the Baltic Sea, while in the background, prominent buildings on Stade island stand out against the skyline. The King's Palace on Gustavsholm is an impressive square structure with a flat roof, followed by the iconic Church of St. Nicholas where Swedish monarchs are crowned.
The Radshuus or House of Commons sits closer to water's edge, while at center stage is Riddarhuus - home to Sweden's House of Lords - with its distinctive spire rising behind it. The Riddarsholm Church on its namesake islet looms tall above neighboring houses as a symbol of royal burial tradition.
To complete this panoramic view, high ground featuring churches like St. Katharine and St. Mary can be seen on Sodermalm peninsula to right hand side. This snapshot not only encapsulates Stockholm's architectural grandeur but also offers a window into its rich history and cultural heritage for all admirers to appreciate through time-honored lens captured by an unknown creator in 1864.
