SUNDSTRÖM, Pehr W. · 1892 · 39 pictures

Pehr W. Sundström's Swedish memoir of life at sea, published in 1892 with 39 illustrations, recounting voyages and shore episodes from New Zealand gum camps to the Pacific war off Chile for a general reading public at home. The wood engravings mix rigged ships in choppy water, panoramic settlement views framed by ferns and scrub, and crowded scenes of dancers and onlookers, offering hatched grey tonal landscapes, ship silhouettes and small captioned vignettes in Swedish.
