Notes: "Swedish pictures. In Anna and Ferdinand Boberg's Footsteps after a hundred years". For ten years, between 1915 and 1924, architect Ferdinand Boberg (Bob) and his wife Anna travelled throughout the whole of Sweden in search for old buildings and objects that they thought would be destroyed by industrialism, modernisation and urbanisation. Bob wanted to document what he saw as threatened cultural heritage. They would show old churches, castles, vernacular houses in the country and in town, as well as objects like boats, wind mills, old hammers and forgeries.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 394-395) and index.
