Portrait of Royal Swedish Air Force captain Paulus af Uhr (1927)

Bernhard Jernberg´s 1927 portrait of captain (later major general) Paulus af Uhr of the newly founded Royal Swedish Air Force - here processed and colorized by me - is in the Swedish Digital Museum archive (FMF.002492). Paulus af Uhr was also a prominent athlete. He participated in the Stockholm Olympic games in 1912 and held the Swedish high jump record, 188 cm, in 1914 - 1917.
