Erika Jonn

Erika Jonn (9 August 1865 – 1931), was a Swedish artist.

Early life Erika Jonn was born on 9 August 1865 in Stora Råby, near Lund, in Scania to Hanna (née Pålsdotter) and Jöns Johnsson who were tenant farmers. She was one of seven siblings in a close knit family, included sisters Lina Jonn and Maria Jonn, who both became photographers of some distinction.

In 1875 her father left farming and took on running a grist mill in Lund, but died suddenly in July and the family moved into Lund town. The young sisters were then placed in the guardianship of their older brother Jonas.

Her work is now held in the collections of National Museum of Sweden.

Lina had a child, John, in November 1896 but died of heart failure a few weeks later. The newborn John was sent to Lund in Sweden to live with his aunts Erika, Maria and Hannah, who raised him.

Erika Jonn died in Lund in 1931.
