An aristocratic capital that became a pop one. Stockholm's most distinctive profession is, improbably, draughtswoman at more than twenty-five times the global rate — a fingerprint of the Royal Academy's long female-illustrator tradition — alongside one of the highest actor and artist shares of any city in the dataset, a legacy of Bergman, the Royal Dramatic Theatre, and a strong national film tradition. The 19th century carries an unusually large share of the names, more than in most European capitals.
