Description
During the latter half of the 19th century, many Danish architects who received their education at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen were active in Scania and neighboring provinces. Most returned to their homeland after completing their assignments, but one of those who remained in Sweden was the priest's son Peter Boisen (1836-1908) from Lolland. For almost fifty years he was active in Scania, from 1868 as Ystad's first city architect. The literature on the versatile and constantly active Boisen has so far been sparse. 'Peter Boisen: The Dane who characterized Ystad' initially tells about his Danish relatives and Swedish family and about his many compatriots who were active east of the Sound for shorter and longer periods, then about the large number of buildings in and outside Ystad that Boisen signed. In addition, the devastating city fires of the time and the houses that were demolished are described. The book is richly illustrated with old and new photographs, original drawings and city maps Under senare hälften av 1800-talet var många danska arkitekter som fått sin utbildning vid Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi i Köpenhamn verksamma i Skåne och angränsande landskap. De flesta återvände till hemlandet efter fullgjorda uppdrag, men en av dem som blev kvar i Sverige var prästsonen Peter Boisen (1836--1908) från Lolland. I nästan femtio år var han verksam i Skåne, från 1868 som Ystads förste stadsarkitekt. Litteraturen om den mångsidige och ständigt verksamme Boisen har hittills varit sparsam. 'Peter Boisen: Dansken som präglade Ystad' berättar inledningsvis om hans danska släkt och svenska familj och om hans många landsmän som var verksamma öster om Öresund i kortare och längre perioder, därefter om det stora antal byggnader i och utanför Ystad som Boisen signerade. Dessutom redogörs för tidens förödande stadsbränder och för hus som rivits. Boken är rikt illustrerad med gamla och nya fotografier, originalritningar och stadskartor
