About Eva Hedvig Mannerheim

ELÄMÄKERTA

Eva Hedvig Vilhelmina Johanna Mannerheim-Sparre af Söfdeborg, syntynyt 30.6.1870 Villnäsissä, kuollut 27.12.1957 Tukholmassa, oli suomalais-ruotsalainen kreivitär, kirjailija ja taiteilija

Countess Eva Mannerheim Sparre (1870-1957), received a degree in wood sculpting and leatherwork from the Stockholm Technical School in 1891, and became the first person to teach leathercraft in Finland. With her husband, the Swedish artist Count Louis Sparre, she had a profound impact on applied art and design in Finland. One of the few Scandinavian binders to receive any attention in Tidcombe's "Women Bookbinders, 1880-1920," Sparre is described in that work as being "responsible for some very restrained and tasteful designs for modelled leather bindings." Tidcombe mentions three examples of her work--one in the Huntington Library and two others illustrated in Sunny Frykholm's article "Bookbinding in Sweden, Norway, and Finland," in "The Studio" (Winter Number 1899-1900, pp. 78-82).
