Stockholm Utställningen 1897

Some of my oldest Axel Eliasson postcards are painted by the artist Anna Palm (1859 1924).  They are of scenes from the Stockholm Utställningen (Exposition) in 1897.




For more details on the Stockholm Utställningen 1897 see

For more information on Anna Palm see

Since both of these websites are on the Swedish wikipedia website they are in Swedish.  Unfortunately you will not find information on Axel Eliassons Konstförlag, Anna Palm, or the Stockholm Utställningen of 1897 on the American Wikipedia website.
