Emma Schenson

Emma Sofia Perpetua Schenson (21 September 1827 – 17 March 1913) was a Swedish photographer and painter.

In addition to photographs of Uppsala Cathedral, she produced a series of some 20 albumen prints as a tribute to the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778).

[3] In the 1880s and 90s, she produced a further technically perfect series of the cathedral showing the progress and results of restoration work.

[1] Although Schenson's negatives have disappeared, her photographs of the cathedral under repair can be seen in an album at the university library.

She is remembered as one of Sweden's earliest female professional photographers along with Rosalie Sjöman in Stockholm, Hilda Sjölin in Malmö and Wilhelmina Lagerholm in Örebro.
