Unfortunately the picture, in wonderful colour, is printed black-white so I will give you the opportunity to see it in colour. Lusthuset I am a summer house that one passes by. I stood on S?dermalm in my master's garden. His angels filled me with harmony. And the world of spirits was content in my care. A powerful investigator, a great prophet has had my simple cabin for his home. Sitting here he saw the splendours of heaven, here was created a New Jerusalem. Around the spirit which has moved, I was a shell. Now I stand abandoned with my sorrow. But I was filled with harp and cymbal, When God came to visit with Swedenborg. Hjalmar Gullberg Translated by Jane Williams-Hogan The following text is a quotation from the Swedenborg Foundation Newsletter. ?Emanuel Swedenborg did much of his writing in his beloved summerhouse (lusthuset), situated at the end of his garden at S?dermalm in Stockholm, where he lived most of his life. For this reason, this modest structure is imbued with a certain charisma and is a place of pilgrimage for many Swedenborgians. At the turn of the century, the lusthus was donated to Skansen, a folk museum in Stockholm. A replica was built in the location where the original had stood about fifteen years ago, which is rented by the society ?Swedenborgs Minne?, of which Erik Swedenborg, a lateral descendent of Emanuel, is the secretary. At the request of the Swedish postal service, artist Mikael Wahrby was asked to paint four different lusthus as models for four stamps. One of the stamps is Swedenborg?s lusthus. The paintings for the stamp have been printed in an original edition of 175 lithographs, 20 x 30 cm (changed by me), some of which are still available for sale. They are priced at $170 and may be ordered by mail directly to Erik Swedenborg. Swedenborgs Minne has produced a note card with permission from the artist. It is a folded card format 10,5 x 14,8 cm, (changed by me), with the picture and the poem on the front side. One hundred of these cards including envelope may be purchased for $52 inclusive of freight. To order a lithograph or cards, contact me by email, erik.swedenborg@zeta.telenordia.se or send me a letter Erik Swedenborg, Nornornas v?g 7, SE-131 46 Nacka, Sweden.
