This atmospheric aquatint engraving, titled "TALVIG, PORT DE MER. FOIRE DE LAPONE." (Talvik, Seaport. Lappish Fair.), is Plate XLIII from Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand’s notable work, "Voyage du Cap Nord" (Journey to the North Cape), published in 1802. The print depicts a panoramic view of the coastal settlement of Talvik in Norway, nestled among mountains, with ships in the bay and groups of figures, likely representing a Lappish fair, on the shore. This illustration combines topographical documentation with ethnographic detail, characteristic of early 19th-century travel art, showcasing the life and landscape of northern regions.
Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand (1749–1834) was a distinguished Swedish military officer, cartographer, writer, and artist. His extensive travels through northern Europe, particularly his journey to the North Cape, provided the material for his celebrated topographical works. Skjöldebrand's meticulous observations and artistic skill combined to create detailed and atmospheric views of landscapes, which contributed significantly to the visual documentation of Sweden and its surrounding regions during the Romantic era.
