Albert Engström and His Rospiggars

Albert Engström och hans rospiggar

A documentary recorded at the artist Albert Engström's home and studio in Grisslehamn, during his last summer, with a memorial speech by the writer Ludvig "Lubbe" Nordström. We meet Albert Engström and his family, and best friend the xylographer Karl Johan Andersson. At the beginning of the 20th century, Albert Engström (1869-1940) was a popular illustrator and became known early on for his caricatures and joke drawings. Kolingen is perhaps his most famous "old man" who appeared in the magazine Strix, which Engström began publishing in 1897.
