Årets Bilder 1957/58 ("Pictures of the Year 1957/58") is a vintage photographic yearbook published in 1957 by the Svenska Turistföreningen (STF – Swedish Tourist Association) as part of their traditional Christmas book (julbok) series.

Edited by prominent Swedish book designer and editor Anders Billow, the volume serves as a curated retrospective of the finest Swedish documentary, cultural, and landscape photography captured during 1957.

Key features of this publication include:

• The STF "Photo Harvest" (Bildskörd): The book compiles approximately 80 high-quality, black-and-white plates showcasing Sweden's diverse topography, shifting seasons, architectural heritage, and rural and urban work life.

• Prominent Photographers: It features the work of nearly 50 prominent, mid-century Scandinavian photographers (including names like Esbjörn Andersson, Olle Ånger, Uno Asplund, and Arne Axelsson).

• Bilingual Appeal: Published via the Nordisk Rotogravyr printing house, the volume includes Swedish and English parallel text ("Swedish Pictures of the Year"), catering to an international audience interested in Nordic culture and geography.

• Format: A slim, 80-to-82-page quarto-sized layout consisting primarily of full-page photo plates accompanied by an index of the contributing photographers and their technical details.
