These are Löjtnanterna Wilhelm and Eric Carlberg, the two best members on the Swedish team for group shooting in the Olympic Games of 1912 in Stockholm.

I have been looking for something interesting to post from Digitalt Museum, and I wanted something darker from the history of Sweden to contrast the mostly positive posts I have posted in the past.

… I hope the city is right this time, lmao

This area looks completely different today, the old station building was replaced in 1932 by a multistory building complex.

Stockholm has a long history of illuminated signs and ads, for obvious reasons, we have long dark nights in the autumn/winter.

Earlier I posted an illustration of this gas holder as I find the architecture gorgeous, I wanted to share a photo but I wanted it to be historical as I am used to posting in the historicalphoto community as well.

Context: These stilts provided a higher vantage point for shepards to keep an eye out for wolves. They also helped with walking through soggy/marshy terrain.

This is an old lock in Åkers kanal, an old waterway in the Stockholm suburb Åkersberga.

Slussen is one of the most complex infrastructure challenges in Stockholm.

I have posted pictures from my old home train station from way before I stomped around there, and here is another.

The earlier picture was taken in the 1920s, this is the same station in 1940.

I have posted pictures of Roslagsbanan before, but this station means a lot to me.
