Morsdag greeting || || Jenny Nyström (1854 - 1946) Jenny Nyström är Kalmarflicka som for till Paris och som blev en av Sveriges mest folkkära illustratörer. Honär känd som mamma till den styrande tomten i Viktor Rydbergs version, men framför allt till den snälle julklappstomten. Som illustratör var hon mycket produktiv och det finns tusentals bilder av hennes hand. Att hon samtidigt var en mycket duktig konstnärinna med gedigen akademisk utbildning både från konstakademien i Stockholm och från de främsta akademierna i Paris, kanske inte varit så väl känt.
