1839 Meyer print GULLO FALL, TROLLHATTAN, SWEDEN, #37

Description: Universum06_37 1839 Meyer print GULLO FALL, TROLLHATTAN, SWEDEN, #37 Nice view titled Gullo Fall, Trollhatta, from steel engraving with fine detail and clear impression, approx. image size is 15 x 10 cm. From Meyer's Universum, published by Bibliographic Institute Hildburghausen Germany. Trollhättan, town, Västra Götaland län (county), southwestern Sweden. Trollhättan lies along the Göta River, north-northeast of Göteborg and was once famous for its imposing waterfalls. Although the falls are now harnessed for hydroelectricity, they sometimes are reopened in the summer. Trollhättan was incorporated as a town in 1916. Notable features of the town are the state-owned Olide and Hojum power stations, which are largely responsible for electric-power distribution in western Sweden, and the Trollhätte Canal (built 1793–1800), which connects Lake Vänern with Göteborg and the North Sea, overcoming a difference in height of 107 feet (33 metres) by means of locks. The town is dominated by manufacturing, with products ranging from heavy machinery to phosphates and plastics. Pop. (1990) mun., 50,985; (1996 est.) mun., 52,338. Gota Canal, Swedish Göta Kanal, artificial waterway that crosses southern Sweden to connect Lake Vänern with the Baltic Sea. For most of its course it passes through lakes, providing inland navigation from Göteborg to Stockholm. The Göta River drains Vänern and, with locks to surmount the falls at Trollhättan, is part of the waterway. The first section to be canalized (Trollhätte Canal) was completed in 1800, allowing seagoing craft to pass from Göteborg to Karlstad and other ports on Vänern. The Göta Canal proper leads from Sjötorp to Viken on the other major Swedish lake, Vättern, and thence to Mem on Slätbaken, an inlet of the Baltic, using on the way the small lakes Boren and Roxen. The navigation distance from Göteborg to Stockholm is 347 miles (558 km) by the canal route and 590 miles (950 km) on the Baltic. The voyage by canal takes about 2 1/2 days. The Göta Canal has 47 miles (76 km) of artificial works and includes 58 locks.
