EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the first issue of the renowned "Then Swanska Argus" publication, dating back to 1732. Crafted by the Swedish School in the 18th century, this piece now resides in a private collection. The "Then Swanska Argus" was an extraordinary literary creation solely written by Olof von Dalin, a prominent Swedish poet of his time. Published weekly from 1732 to 1734, it encompassed a wide range of literary forms such as short stories, poems, plays, and editorials. This particular edition holds great significance as it marks the pivotal moment when Older and Younger New Swedish literature diverged. The woodcut cover design exudes pastoral charm while incorporating elements like typography and graphics that were characteristic of that era's printing press techniques. The font used adds an elegant touch to this visually appealing magazine cover. As we delve into this historical artifact captured through photography, we are transported back in time to experience the rich cultural heritage of Sweden during the early 18th century. It serves as a testament to both von Dalin's exceptional talent and his contribution towards shaping Swedish literature. This print is not only a visual delight but also an invaluable glimpse into Sweden's literary past – an exquisite addition for any art enthusiast or history lover seeking to explore our collective human narrative through fine art.
