Sledging in Stockholm, 1850: A Captivating Scene from Sweden's Metropolis This image, titled "Sledging in Stockholm," is an original drawing from 1850, the source of which is unknown. The scene portrays a bustling winter day in the Swedish capital, with a young diplomat, dressed in fashionable attire, making his way across the North Bridge in his sledge. The bridge, adorned with snow, serves as a picturesque backdrop to the vibrant tableau. The peasants, hailing from the rural province of Dalecarlia, are depicted on foot, bundled up against the cold in traditional clothing. Their apparel, reminiscent of the agricultural workers of the time, is a stark contrast to the diplomat's elegant attire. The agricultural scene is further enriched by the presence of livestock, including cows, ponies, and sheep, which are a common sight in the countryside. Horses and horse-drawn vehicles are also prominent, serving as essential modes of transportation during the winter season. The overall composition of the drawing presents a characteristic and authentic portrayal of Swedish life during the 19th century. The peasants, farmhands, and farmworkers, dressed in their practical clothing, are engaged in their daily tasks, while the diplomat, representing the urban elite, navigates the wintery conditions in his sledge. This engraving, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a fascinating glimpse into the diverse and dynamic world of Swedish life during this era. The image captures the essence of the season, the occupation, and the spirit of the people, making it a valuable historical document and an enduring work of art.
