This is an antique 1915 edition of the Swedish-Language Nordisk Familjebok, which translates to Nordic Family Book. It is a Swedish-language encyclopedia, and this is volume 22, covering Possession to Retzia. The covers are red with a dark red leather embossed spine. The spine is decorated with an Art Nouveau owl and lettered in gold. The endpapers are illustrated with an owl on a floral background. The book is illustrated with black and white illustrations and photographs throughout. There is one full color illustration plate of pears at the very center of the encyclopedia. The columns are numbered and there are 1500 in the book with 2 columns per page.
The book is in good antique condition for its age and use. The covers have general wear with some scratches and fraying to the corners. The spine has begun to split at the front cover. The leather of the spine has worn away in some areas but the gold lettering is still bright and the owl still sharp. The covers are still attached at the spine. The pages are yellowed but the full color illustration is still bright.
The encyclopedia measures 9.5 by 6.5 inches. It is 1.75 inches thick.
