This panoramic view captures the bustling port and the city's skyline during the late 17th to early 18th century. It's part of "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna," a work by Erik Dahlberg, which translates to "Ancient and Modern Sweden." This ambitious work aimed to document Swedish architecture, landscapes, and towns, and was a major project of national interest at the time. The image shows a variety of sailing vessels, indicative of Kalmar's importance as a maritime center. In the foreground, you can see the fortress of Kalmarsund, which would have been key to the city's defenses. The cityscape is rendered with fine detail, showing church spires, the characteristic rooftops of the period, and other architectural features that would have been prominent in Kalmar. See less
