Häftad i omslag tryckta i svart och guld. Fint exemplar. Stockholm, Stockholms stadsmuseum (tr. hos P. A. Nostedt & Söner), 1969. 22,2 x 23 cm. 36 sid. inkl. 6 dubbelsidiga färgplanscher med reproduktioner av Sjöbergs bilder. Med katalog över Josabeth Sjöbergs bilder, under rubrikerna "Bostäderna och utsikter från dessa", "Offentliga inrättningar", "Kyrkointeriörer". Josabeth Sjöberg växte upp i en välbärgad familj i Stockholm. Utan annan utbildning än lite piano- och gitarrspel försörjde hon sig efter föräldrarnas död (modern 1831, fadern 1833) som musiklärare i privathem i Stockholm under hela sitt liv. Josabeth Sjöberg var en konstnärlig naturbegåvning som tecknade och målade akvareller på sin fritid. Hennes stora arv till eftervärlden är ett stort antal akvareller som skildar den tidens vardagsliv i borgarklassens kök och vardagsrum och livet på artonhundratalets Södermalm. Drygt hälften av akvarellerna är från hennes små frökenhem. Bilderna är amatörmässiga men visar stor målar- och berättarglädje. Stockholms stadsmuseum förvärvade 1936 praktiskt taget hela hennes konstnärliga kvarlåtenskapskap, 57 av 59 akvarellerade blad. - - - A little book devoted to Josabeth Sjöberg (1812-1882), a Swedish (amateur) painter and music teacher. After her death, her paintings passed to the family of a friend, apparently per her will. By the 1930s they had become dispersed, but in 1936 the Stockholm City Museum acquired 57 of the 59 known watercolours, which have since been displayed several times in art exhibitions, including the 700-year jubilee of the city of Stockholm. Despite the technical naivete of her works, they have been widely used to illustrate books and articles on the culture of 19th century Stockholm.…
