The story behind the motif
Gustaf Adolf square in Gothenburg at the end of the 19th century. In the picture we see Norra Hamngatan and Stora Hamnkanalen. Straight ahead is Gothenburg's Town Hall and the old District Court in the building to the right of it. In the background we see the tower of the German Church.
All these buildings, including the harbor canal, are very old and date back to when Gothenburg was founded in 1621. The town hall was completed in 1672 and was designed by the famous architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder. In 1661 he was appointed Sweden's and Stockholm's first city architect. He has also drawn Drottningsholm Castle. He was the father of Nicodemus Tessin the Younger , known as the castle architect behind Stockholm Castle and was one of the great architects of the Baroque period in Sweden.
