🇸🇪 The steamer Herakles in a vintage watercolour painting by Gaetano D´Esposito from 1899.

🇸🇪 Bird's-eye view of Visby in Sweden - published by the super-prolific Georg Braun & Frans Hogenberg from Cologne in their 1600 book 'Civitates Orbis Terrarum - Volume 5'. The book contained views & maps of cities from around the world.

Just imagine the awe and wonder the readers must have felt back then seeing all those great cities.
