Gota Canal Sweden ~ Vintage Travel Poster Card

The Göta Canal (Swedish: Göta kanal) is a Swedish canal constructed in the early 19th century. It formed the backbone of a waterway stretching some 382 miles (614 km), linking a number of lakes and rivers to provide a route from Gothenburg (Swedish:Göteborg) on the west coast to Söderköping on the Baltic Sea via the river Göta älv and the Trollhätte kanal, through the large lakes Vänern and Vättern.

"The Name Day" by Carl Larsson Art Print Post Card

In the Swedish calendar you'll see one or more first names for each day. A name day is like a minor birthday, celebrated with flowers, cards and maybe a cake. If you have more than one first name, you'll of course have reason to celebrate several times a year. A painting by Carl Larsson, in the public domain.
