A Variety of photos and models!

 Publisher of this card from Rättvik, Dalarne, Sweden is unknown.  Two men in the meadow, and puffy white clouds.  Sometime after 1908.
 Card 2104 a view of a building at Skansen, Stockholm's Hembygdsgården, an open air park that showcases and preserves examples of tradition buildings. 
Model used on card 2104.

Card 2105, Dalarne, Rättvik, published by Axel Eliasson.  Same photo as used by unknown publisher in first example above, but with two models inserted and clouds modified.  This card is from ~1903

With a few minor touchups this appears to be the same model used on card 2104.
