1865 1952 Anders Geographer Hedin Signature Spectacles Sven Swedish Traveller
EDITORS COMMENTS
Sven Anders Hedin, also known as Sven Adolf Hedin or Sven Hedin, was a renowned Swedish traveller and geographer whose explorations and discoveries significantly contributed to the cartographic knowledge of Central Asia and Eastern Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born on February 1, 1865, in Stockholm, Hedin's insatiable curiosity and adventurous spirit led him to embark on numerous expeditions, starting from a young age. This photograph, taken in 1914, captures Hedin in a thoughtful and introspective moment as he reads through one of his many books. The signature "Anders, Sven" is visible at the bottom right corner of the image, adding an intimate touch to the portrait. Hedin's spectacles rest on the table before him, a testament to his dedication to his work and the importance of knowledge in his life. Hedin's most notable achievements include leading the Swedish Ural-Siberian Expedition from 1894 to 1897, during which he discovered the source of the Irtish River and mapped out large areas of Central Asia. He also played a significant role in the planning and execution of the Swedish Asian Expedition from 1901 to 1905, which focused on the exploration of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Hedin's extensive body of work includes numerous books, articles, and maps, and his contributions to the fields of geography and exploration have left a lasting impact on the world. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Hedin's unwavering commitment to discovery and the pursuit of knowledge, making it an essential addition to any collection of historical images.
