Peasant Art In Sweden, Lapland And Iceland is a book written by Charles Holme that explores the traditional art forms of these three regions. The book is divided into three sections, each focusing on a different country. The first section is dedicated to Sweden and covers topics such as woodcarving, embroidery, and weaving. The second section focuses on Lapland and highlights the art of the Sami people, including their intricate beadwork and silver jewelry. The final section explores the art of Iceland, including the country’s unique weaving techniques and the use of natural materials in their crafts. Throughout the book, Holme provides detailed descriptions and photographs of the various art forms, as well as insights into the cultural significance and history behind each one. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Scandinavian art and culture, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich artistic traditions of these three countries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
