'''Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna''' (Ancient and Modern Sweden) is a significant work of Swedish literature and art that was initiated by Count Erik Jönsson Dahlberg in the 17th century. The collection consists of a series of engravings that depict a wide array of Swedish landscapes, architecture, and historical scenes. Dahlberg, who was a military engineer, architect, and author, aimed to capture the grandeur of the Swedish Empire during its peak and to promote a sense of national pride.

The work, which translates to "Ancient and Modern Sweden," is often compared to the topographical works found in other European countries, such as the ''Civitates orbis terrarum'' by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg. Dahlberg's collection, however, is distinguished by its focus on Sweden and its ambition to document the country's cultural heritage and achievements.

The six plates referred to in the title of this particular entry represent a selection from the larger work, which originally comprised a total of 353 plates. These six plates are notable examples of the collection and showcase Dahlberg's meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to illustrating Sweden's historical and contemporary landmarks.

The engravings in ''Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna'' were produced by several prominent engravers of the time, who were commissioned by Dahlberg to translate his drawings and sketches into detailed prints. The project received support from the Swedish royal family, which saw it as a means to enhance the cultural and political status of Sweden.

Published in three volumes between 1660 and 1716, ''Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna'' has been praised for its artistic quality and historical value. The collection has served as an important source for understanding 17th-century Swedish architecture and landscapes, many of which have since been altered or lost. Today, the plates are considered national treasures and are held in high esteem by collectors, historians, and art enthusiasts alike.
