Her… Continue reading Sweden coronavirus press conference, April 10, 2020

I once wrote about finding Carl Larsson cards in Berkeley, California, and in Davis, California. Well, I have found some more Carl Larsson artifacts in the US. First, you can go to Solvang, California, and there's a store there that sells magnets with Carl Larsson paintings on them. I don't want to mention the name… Continue reading Carl Larsson in the US
