1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: The Iron Mine at Dannemora, Upland, Sweden (18th Century) This handcoloured steel engraving, created by du Casse after an illustration by Adolph Fries, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of mining in Sweden during the 18th century. The view presented here is of the iron mine at Dannemora, located in the picturesque province of Upland. The image showcases the intricacies of iron ore mining during this era, revealing a labyrinth of tunnels, shafts, and galleries carved into the heart of the mountain. The steep cliffs, adorned with trees, provide a striking contrast to the industrial activity below. Miners, dressed in traditional attire, can be seen working diligently, extracting the valuable iron ore using pickaxes and other rudimentary tools. The engraving also highlights the importance of water in the mining process. A waterwheel, positioned at the bottom of the mine, is used to pump water out of the shafts, allowing the miners to continue their work. The water is then channeled into a nearby stream, which flows through the landscape, adding a sense of tranquility amidst the industrious scene. This image is an essential record of the historical mining practices in Sweden and serves as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the miners who labored in such conditions. The handcoloured steel engraving, taken from Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville's "Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle" (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris between 1834 and 1839, offers a unique perspective into the past and the rich history of iron mining in Upland, Sweden.
