In the 1600s to 1800s, the poorest of the poor in Sweden would live in backstugor (slope cottages). These were built on unusable land, often built into hillsides or rocky areas. The people living there didn't lease nor own the land, and only owned the building in itself. Often most of the inside area of the cottage would be used for crafting equipment such as a loom.

Wood Engraving Wednesday

SVEN LJUNGBERG

This week we present original wood engravings by the Swedish visual artist and writer Sven Ljungberg (1913-2010) illustrating his own text Parvus, translated and introduced by Rosemary & Thorsten Sjölin, and printed in an edition of 200 copies in Oldham, England by Graham Moss and Kathy Whalen at Incline Press in 2000. This collection of stories about Ljungberg’s childhood in  Småland, Sweden, was first published in Stockholm in 1971. This translation was printed using the original wood blocks.

Ljungberg is remembered especially for creating the certificates for the winners of the Nobel Prize in Physics, Chemistry, and Economics from 1977 to 1981, but he is also a noted book illustrator. Nobel Prize winner in literature Pär Lagerkvist, whose books Ljungberg illustrated, called him “the best illustrator in the world.” The Sjölins write: “Sven’s memories of his childhood are especially vivid. The stories in Parvus, illustrated with his evocative wood engravings, are filled with details about day-to-day life in a village in the south of Sweden during the first half of the twentieth century.” Ljungberg served as Director of Royal University College of Fine Arts in Stockholm between 1972 and 1978 and was the school's Rector from 1978 to 1981. He was honored by his hometown of Ljungby with the construction of a museum, Ljungbergmuseet, to house his works.

An eight-year-old Swedish girl came across an exciting find swimming at her local lake, when she pulled an ancient sword from its depths.

"It's not every day that one steps on a sword in the lake!" Mikael Nordström from Jönköpings Läns Museum told The Local when explaining the significance of the find.

But that's exactly what happened to Saga Vanecek, who found the Viking Age relic at the Vidöstern lake in Småland earlier this summer.

"I felt something in the water and lifted it up. It was a handle, and I told my dad that it looked like a sword!" Saga told Sveriges Radio, recalling the moment. "It was pretty cool and a bit exciting."

The sword is estimated to be at least 1,000 years old and has prompted huge interest from archaeologists and historians.
