A scarce work with an extensive set of plates depicting the costumes of Sweden. Nine of the plates contain views of Ornas, Falhu Grufva, Mora, Porfyr Vas, Fiellen, Gripsholm, Kalmar, Bromsebro, and Lund Cathedral.

This work was originally issued in 12 parts, each with some plates and accompanying text. This copy contains more pages of text than the 12 parts, but is not the 1836 reprint which had a different title (see Brunet II, 1346).

2 vols, 4to (27 x 22 cm); text in Swedish, 48 hand-coloured aquatint plates including illustrated title, 2 plates of music, tissue guards watermarked 1832, discreet blind library stamp to titles, a touch of light spotting not affecting images; contemporary marbled boards and calf corners rebacked in later calf, spines lettered in gilt, all edges speckled green, corners rubbed otherwise a very good set; [4], 137, [2]; [2]pp.

Colas 1281, 1282; Lipperheide 1054.
