126 Frans Theodor Hedberg (1828–1908) – View of Söderköping, Sweden – Chromolithograph from Pittoreskt Sverige (1861)

This original chromolithograph presents a tranquil 19th-century view of Söderköping, a picturesque town in southeastern Sweden known for its medieval heritage and proximity to the Göta Canal. The composition captures the charm of the town’s canalside buildings and serene rural surroundings, rendered in finely balanced colour and lithographic detail.
The print is from Pittoreskt Sverige. Första serien: Kanalfärden mellan Stockholm och Göteborg (“Picturesque Sweden. First Series: The Canal Journey Between Stockholm and Gothenburg”), published in 1861 by Albert Bonniers Förlag in Stockholm. The series documented key towns and natural landscapes along Sweden’s developing canal routes, showcasing national pride in infrastructure and scenery.
Frans Theodor Hedberg, a noted Swedish lithographer and illustrator, played a vital role in capturing the visual heritage of 19th-century Sweden. His collaboration with leading artists and publishers produced some of the most refined chromolithographic views of the era, preserving the character of Swedish towns and countryside during a period of transformation.
