Peter Sohm acquired the profession in the Stockholm printing houses of Carlbohm, Pfeiffer and Fougt and worked as foreman in S:t Petersburg in the printing houses of Breitkopf and of the imperial cadet corps during the 1780s. Suspected of partiality for his home country Sweden he was imprisoned for 11 years in Russia. After returning to Sweden he got privilege as printer in the beginning of 1805 and bought the equipment of two Stockholm printers, J.C. Holmberg and A. Zetterberg. Sohm simultaneously was appointed printer to the army and followed the headquarters of the army during its campaigns in Germany, the Baltic and Norway with movable equipment. Consequently, his imprint appears with a remarkable number of imprint places, including the crofter's holdings Nytorp and Hållas at Åland and on board the brig Diana outside Dalarö, near Stockholm. Occasionally, he payed a local printer to print a bulletin with his imprint, but in most cases he actually printed himself. The appellation naming him as printer to the Swedish army was used even in his Stockholm imprint. A. Zetterberg managed the printing house in Stockholm during Sohm's absence. Sohm continued his business in Stockholm until 1818, when it was sold to P.A. Wallmark, who merged it with the Eckstein printing house. [Bronnen: U.
