"This is an abridged swedish edition of the german monumental work "Meyer´s Universum". It shows wonderful views from around the world like Calcutta, New York, Rio, Panama, Quebec, Madrid, Rome, Moscow, Berlin etc. Also many views of old castles, churches, natural wonders and beautiful vistas. Here are four of the six parts published in Sweden. The final two parts were published in 1849 and 1851. The engravings were selected from the german work and the text was partly translated and partly specially written for the swedish edition by Karl August Nicander and others.#.
