Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Sweden: general view of the city of Stockholm, 1864. View ...from the suburb of Norrmalm, on the north shore of the strait which connects Lake M?lar with the Baltic Sea. The principal buildings seen across the water are those upon the Stade island, or cluster of three islets...the larger mass of the town extending for some distance along each shore of the strait by which these little islands are inclosed. The Kings Palace, on the islet called Gustavsholm, is shown to the left hand - a vast square pile with a flat roof; then comes the Church of St. Nicholas, in which the kings of Sweden are crowned; in front of this church, nearer the water, is the Radshuus, or House of Commons...[in] the centre of our View is the Riddarhuus, or House of Lords, the position of which is marked by the spire of the German Church (St. Gertrudes) rising behind it; the old Riddarsholm Church, occupying an islet of that name, which has for many generations been the burial-place of Swedish Royalty, is yet more conspicuous, towering above the neighbouring houses. The high ground shown to the right hand, surmounted by the churches of St. Katharine and St. Mary...[belongs] to the peninsula of Sodermalm. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
