  Zacharias Topelius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Topelius became a student at the Imperial University of Helsingfors in 1833, received his filosofie magister degree in 1840, the Licentiate degree in 1844 and was made a Doctor of Philosophy in 1847, having defended a dissertation titled De modo matrimonia jungendi apud fennos quondam vigente ("About the custom of marriage among the ancient Finns").
In 1878, Topelius was allowed to withdraw from his professional duties, but this did not sever his connection with the university; it gave him, however, more leisure for his abundant and various literary enterprises.
Topelius aimed, with eminent but perhaps pathetic success, at the cultivation of a strong passion of patriotism in Finland.

 Zacharius Topelius
Topelius initially thought of writing a trivial entertainment, but having heard extracts from the opera project at a concert in 1851, he realized that Pacius was writing a grand opera on the theme of salvation, following the early Romantic style of Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freischütz (1821) and Oberon (1826).
Topelius wrote the libretto in Swedish, but its subject is emphatically Finnish.
The libretto was translated to Finnish, and is mostly performed as Kaarle-kuninkaan metsästys[?], however neither the libretto nor the music manages to cover the weakness of the other.

From 1871 to 1878 he contributed illustrations to the comic journal Kaspar and the Ny illustrerad tidning.
From 1875, for several decades, he was a prolific book illustrator, his most renowned work in this field being his drawings for Fältskärns berättelser (‘The Barber-surgeon’s tales’; pubd 1883–4) by Zacharius Topelius, and the Rococo-inspired watercolours for the Samlade skaldeförsök (‘Collected attempts at poetry’; pubd 1884) by the 18th-century Swedish author Anna Maria Lenngren.
It was only later, however, that Larsson produced most of his own prints.
