Bucolic Tranquility: Söderfors in Sweden by Ulrik Thersner, 1825
Located in Langweer, NL
This original antique aquatint is a picturesque depiction of Söderfors, a place likely to be in Sweden, given the naming convention and style of the artwork. Crafted by Ulrik Thersner in 1825, the image portrays a vibrant, pastoral scene set by a rushing waterway, suggesting the presence of a river or stream. The landscape is dotted with buildings that have the architectural hallmarks of early 19th-century Swedish design. A group of figures is depicted in the foreground, which adds a human element and scale to the scene.
Söderfors, if it is the same location known today, has a historical industrial background and is located in Uppsala County, Sweden. The area has been known for its ironworks and manufacturing history dating back to the 17th century. It is a locality situated in Tierp Municipality, Uppsala County, Sweden with 1,572 inhabitants in 2010
If the aquatint represents this area, it may have captured Söderfors at a time when it was transitioning from a more agricultural society to one influenced by industrialization. Today, the region may still have remnants of its historical past, although it would have undoubtedly undergone significant changes since Thersner's time.
More about the maker:
Ulrik Thersner was a multifaceted individual, having an impactful military career alongside his work as a draftsman and topographer. Born on April 2, 1779, in Kyrkslätt parish in Finland, Thersner began his military service early, becoming a ship's boy in the Swedish navy at the tender age of seven. His naval service during Gustav III's Russian War...

Large Antique Bird Print of a White Bellied Caribbean Martin, circa 1807
Located in Langweer, NL
This captivating antique bird print, entitled "L'Hirondelle à ventre blanc", is a remarkable representation of the white-bellied Caribbean martin (Progne dominicensis), a species admired for its size and grace among the swallow family. It stands out as a collectible artwork from the historical compendium "Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux de l'Amerique Septentrionale" by the ornithological innovator Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot, published circa 1807.
The artistry involved in this print is exemplary of early 19th-century techniques, with the original illustration by J.G. Pretre being skillfully engraved by L. Bouquet. The color printing, executed by Langlois, has been further enhanced by hand-finishing, a testament to the artisanship of the time and a quality highly prized by collectors.
A perfect amalgamation of natural history and art, this print captures the white-bellied Caribbean martin in stunning detail, from its glistening feathers to its contemplative gaze. The fine detail and the bird's animated posture provide a lifelike presence, reflecting Vieillot's progressive approach to ornithology — studying birds in their natural habitats, living and breathing, rather than as static museum specimens.
As a treasured addition to any antique print collection...

Located in Langweer, NL
This print is from 'The Military Costume of Turkey. Illustrated by A Series of Engravings. From Drawings made on the Spot. Dedicated by Permission to His Excellency the Minister of the Ottoman Porte to his Britannic Majesty.'
London, Published by Thomas M'Lean, Haymarket, (1818). Folio. One of 29 fine handcoloured aquatint plates . Very light offsetting from plate. The original accompanying text of this print is as follows:
'THE Capitan Pacha has the supreme command of the Turkish Navy, in which he has the appointment of all the principal officers. His power also extends over the islands of the Archipelago, where he sails every Spring for the purpose of receiving the capitation tax.
The Turkish navy is chiefly navigated by Greek sailors, whilst Turkish soldiers are embarked for the purposes of attack and defence. The thirtyfirst ortah, or regiment, of Janizaries, whose symbol is an anchor, are chiefly employed for this last purpose, which therefore bears some analogy to our marine corps.
