Ulrik & Thora Thresher - Antique Topographical Aquatint Print - A View of Nasby Castle - Taby - Sweden. Antique print by Ulrik Thresher from the work ”Fordna och present Sweden”. In Skåne, Thersner had drawn several mansions in 1816, and he decided to publish a counterpart to Erik Dahlbergh's Suecia antiqua et hodierna. He called his work Fordna och present Sverige, and began publishing it in 1817. Carl Fredrik Akrell engraved the images, which were executed in aquatint. Eventually, Wilhelm Maximilian Carpelan joined the publication. The Scania part was completed in 1823, Östergötland was started in 1820 and Uppland and Södermanland in 1824-25. Thersner himself wrote the text for the pictures.
