Margareta suggests that dinner in the lusthus might make a nice post.
Google Translate informs me that a “lusthus” is a “gazebo.” If you break it into two words, it’s “desire house.” I will ask Erik to explain more about that.
Judging from the light and the absence of high chairs, the folks are having a late dinner, after the young laird has retired for the evening. Everyone looks relaxed. I think it is a kind of shrimp they are eating.






There is a very nice ‘lusthus’ at Skansen that used to belong to Swedenborg. You can see it here: http://www.skansen.se/sv/artikel/swedenborgs-lusthus. You can also find more information (and a poem!) on the history of the ‘lusthus’ here: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedenborgs_lusthus.
Thanks for this. I went to wikipedia and was glad to see the pictures, although I couldn’t read the Swedish text. If you look up Swedenborg on the English wikipedia, you don’t find the pictures of the lusthus.
