List and Analysis of Portraits of Swedenborg. 

 By Alfkeh H. Stkoh, M. A. 



The statements made in this »List and Analysis of Portraits of Sweden- 

 borg» are based, partly upon Dr. Rudolf L. TafeVs »Documents concerning Swe- 

 denborg», Vol. IL, London 1877, pp. 1196 — 1198, and the Rev. James Hyde s »Bi- 

 bliography of Swedenborg's Works», London, 19ÜG, pp. 680—684, — partly upon 

 the writer's researches in Swedeu and England since 1902. 



In the list below we have attempted to follow a clironological order, in so 

 far as has been possible with the very iucomplete data at hand. In the brief 

 notes supplied under each number we have confined our attention to leading 

 features only, and little attention has been paid to copies of portraits, or to 

 possible replicas of early copies, Avhicli have Ijeen produced in considerable 

 numbers since Swedenborg's death, nor have we listed various composite and 

 fantastic productions, most of which possess neither historical nor artistic merit. 



The publication of documents and the detailed discussion of portraits of 

 Swedenborg will follow in future contributions, and we need only here remark 

 that Nos. 3, 6, 7 and 8 are in all probability genuine original portraits of Swe- 

 denborg, that there are various reasons indicating that Nos. 5, 9 and 10 also may 

 be originals, or copies of unknown originals, and that Nos. 1, 2 and 4 on various 

 grounds may be considered as rather doubtful. 



1. Portrait of Swedenborg from Westmanland. (Text-fig. 22). 



This portrait of a young man about twenty years of age, remarkably like 

 the engraving by Bernigroth, was purchased in 1909 by the writer from a lady 

 who received it from a farmer in the province of Westmanland, Sweden. Accord- 

 ing to the' farmer's statement it was a portrait of Swedenborg preserved in his 

 family. In the possession of the writer.
