Holger Eriksson 30mm - Catalogue 18 pages with more than 126 different figures.

All figures shown with photo

Holger Eriksson cast his first miniature figure in 1934, an event that became the start of a unique artistic career. The figure was produced entirely by him, from sketch to modelling, mould, casting and cleaning to painting.

Holger Eriksson was born in 1899, in the village of Bolhyttan, Sweden.

He had had an interest in military tin figures ever since he was a young boy. But it wasn’t playing with tin-soldiers that fascinated him; it was rather the small sized sculpturing. Already in his childhood and youth he drew horses, in motion or resting, with or without riders.

The riders were mostly soldiers and they naturally had as correct a uniform as possible. An interest in uniforms, and later regimental history, was awakened. National service in the garrison town of Boden, where most of the army’s arms were represented, gave rich opportunities for detailed studies.

Charles X, Charles XII, Gustavus Adolphus, Oscar II, Napoleon, mounted Vikings and cavalrymen from different periods are part of his production 1935-38. In 1936, Holger Eriksson participated in a miniature figure exhibition in London with a “Scots Greys, 1815” and was awarded second prize. During the following years he had a lively exchange with British collectors, which is why a large part of his early production is in Britain.

After 1957 Holger Eriksson kept his originals himself and only made castings for interested collectors and museums.

The Master laid his tools to rest on the 1st of October, 1988, at the age of 88
