Pritzel 9071* Olof Swartz (1760-1818), botanist, professor, among other things director of the Bergian garden Provenance: Karl Joar Westman (1939-2022) was a lawyer and banker, also an entrepreneur in India and Sri Lanka. He was a devoted collector of antiques, paintings, sculpture, arts and crafts and not least books. KJ Westman followed all book auctions from his student days and often visited countless second-hand bookshops. The travelogues of older times particularly interested him, but he was also fascinated by the book craft itself and therefore had many beautiful volumes in his collection. He was the son of the Prime Minister and Professor K. G. Westman and his wife Margit, née Printz.
