Sweden's egalitarian image is a recent one; from 1668 to 1865, Swedish nobles, meeting in the Riddarhuset (House of Nobles) assisted the monarch in running the country. The rich trappings of this Baroque building are a vivid contrast to the more subdued Riksdagshuset. Scanned from a photographic print. © 1997 Lawrence I. Charters
