A Street Scene in Stockholm, the Capital of Sweden

At the left of the picture is the Royal Theater; at the right, the harbor. Because of its beautiful situation, partly on islands, Stockholm is often called "the Venice of the North." It is the same far northern latitude as Juneau, Alaska. [Photograph circa 1920.] Click here to enlarge this image.
