FerdinandBoberg (1860-1946) was the preeminent architect of Sweden at the turn of the century, and judged the dominant architectural force not only in his country but by international standards as well.
Boberg, one of the most widely traveled architects of his time, was instrumental in transmitting the contemporary designs of the American innovators H. Richardson and Louis Sullivan into Swedish architecture.
Boberg was also a talented artist, which is reflected not only in his architectural renderings, many of which are reproduced here in color, but also in a very large production of charcoal and pencil drawings and etchings.
