MOTHER LOCAL
ARTIST. GIVEN
BRIEF MENTION
C. E. Johansson, the local painter,
received a paper from Sweden in the
last mail, which paid a high compli
ment to Mr. Johansson’s mother, Mrs.
Hilda Johansson, who is also a cele
brated painter in the old country.
The article, which was translated
for the Gateway by Mr. S. Lundblad,
follows:
Mrs. Hilda Johansson nee Brobeck,
celebrated the 7th day of August as
80th birthday. Her late husband to
those who remember him, was the
well known sea-captain, Karl Johans
son. The representatives of this jour
nal visited recently Mrs. Johansson,
who is comfortable in a beautiful lit
tle home near Venersborg. The dear
old lady in all her modesty is in pos
session of a remarkable vigor. Un
consciously one would conclude that
her art, or the inborn faculty of en
joyment of the beautiful, is the source j
of her lasting health and comparative i
youthfulness even in her old age. Mrs. j
Johansson is a living proof that this '
supposition is correct.
The walls in her apartments are full
of her productive art and of that of;
others of her favorite masters.
“Here is the first picture I painted,” i
she would explain, pointing at the im-j
age of King David, copied from a j
Dutch original when she was 20 years j
or age, and there is a “Girl With an j
Orange” and here “Oscar I, (King of j
Sweden) and here a duplicate of the !
copy I made for his son. King Charles I
XV, which he presented to his daugh

:er, later Queen or Denmark. She
tias another picture of mine “Interior
a Dalecarlian Cabin” in her castle
in Copenhagen.
At the county seat of Onafors, its
5\vner Mr. Nordstrom, who maintains
i splendid gallery of works of art, I
was given the chance to copy and to
paint, that was^my real start.
The interview was a pleasant enter
tainment. She relates how the pro
vincial governor, Count Sparre, sent
tier as an adept student, accompanied
with his warmest recommendations,
to the eminent painter of Swedish
historical works, the professor Boke
lund. Here she painted for scfme time
under the best tutelage obtainable at
that time. She had however soon to
leave for Gothenburg, where she con
tinued her studies under another em
inent teacher-artist, Brusewitz, bene
fiting largely in the development of
her artistical inclinations. Here she
made the acquaintance of the immor
tal creator of “The Death of a Hero,”
(awarded ‘Grand Prix de Salon de
Paris’) Nils Forsberg, now 83 years of >
age, but well preserved and in pos
session of youthful spirits. The ob
ject for his first portrait was the
young Miss Brobeck, a piece of work
that revealed the future master.
About happenings, insignificant may
be, from times of which the present
generation has no actual experience,
these old celebrities maintain a steady
correspondence. Last year Mrs. Jo
hansson received a picture of Mr.
Forsbek with dedications, in a frame
“de luxe.”
The parents of Mrs. Johansson
were against her entering the field of
art as a profession, because in those
days it was looked upon as an oddity,
an extravagance if a young girl dedi
cated herself to such endeavors in
stead of the home and the household.
She got married and then the painting
was all over with for other more im
portant and more realistic concerns of
life.
Both her children and grandchildren
have however, given evidence that her
talents have been inherited, and Mrs.
Johansson points with pride to some
sketches and paintings by her son,
who is in America, and by her daugh
ter and grandson.
SEATTLE PAPER
WORKING YEARS

BUSINESS CHRONICLE, PUBLISH
ED WEEKLY STAUNCH SUP
PORTER OF ALASKA
In order to keep in closer touch
with affair in this district of the
Territory the management of the
Business Chronicle of the Pacific
Northwest, published weekly in Se
attle, and of which the well known
Edwin Selvin is editor and publisher,
requests the Seward Chamber of
Commerce to furnish their office with
all information possible relative to
this and the westward areas.
Editor Selvin’s letter being of con
siderable interest it is published in
tact below:
Chamber of Commerce,
Seward, Alaska.
Gentlemen:
Ever since this publication was es
tablibed ten years ago, one of its
cardinal editorial policies has been
to desseminate more widely a cor
rect knowledge of Alaska and its re
sources, help create a public senti
ment that will eventually cut the
bureaucratic red tap that is holding
back Alaska’s proper development,
and create a more understanding and
sympathetic attitude on the part of
our Pacific Northwest businessmen
toward Alaska’s problems.
By -way of still further intensifying
and make effective this editorial pol
icy, we desire your organization to
furnish us with information relative
to industrial and commercial devel
opments of your community so that
we may give Alaska still more pub
licity of a constructive nature. In
return for this service from the
Chamber of Commerce, we are going
to send you (without charge or ob
ligation) Business Chronicle regular
ly. There are no strings to this of
fer other than that I wish you to
place Business Chronicle on your
reading table so that all those fre
luenting the Chamber of Commerce
may have an opportunity to read
Business Chronicle. You will find so
much statistical and fact matter in
Dur columns that probably is not oth
erwise available, that you may find it
lesirable to keep a file of our paper
vhere it can be consulted at any
;ime.
Business Chronicle’s subscribers in
dude executives of all lines of bus
mess thruout the Pacific Norhtwest!
—and in addition the heads of large
nterests of various kinds over the
country generally, that for one rea
son or another desire to keep in
ouch with business and econmic
developments of this important sec
tion otf the United States.
This complimentary subscription
begins with our issue of January 9.
“Faithfully,
EDWIN SELVIN.
