The project involves the publication of a book, *Visiting Sweden in the Age of Great Power*, by the publishing house Natur & Kultur. In the book, I recount and comment on the travel accounts from the 17th century left behind by a total of eleven French-speaking visitors to Sweden—ten Frenchmen and one Swiss—many of which have never before been examined in Swedish scholarship. Together, these accounts provide a detailed, partly new, and in-depth picture of Sweden during that era and of how conditions were perceived by travelers from a country that, regardless of religious differences, was a political ally. “Visiting Sweden in the Age of Great Power” is also, in many ways, a continuation and expansion of my book “The French Chamberlain’s Journey,” which was published in 2013 with substantial support from the Torsten Söderberg Foundation. Nearly forty illustrations contribute to the understanding of the text, some of which have rarely or never been reproduced in historical literature. They should be reproduced in the highest possible technical quality, and my application is for a grant to ensure high-quality image reproduction.
