Anders Nilsson (23 August 1832 – 7 October 1904) was a lecturer in Skara.He was a collector and bequeathed his entire collection of 2650 items to the Gothenburg Museum.He began collecting during his time as a lecturer in Skara, travelling around and buying or begging for objects in villages. Over time, his behaviour became increasingly erratic, leading to his diagnosis as 'nervous' and 'less sane'. Consequently, from 1899, he was granted a leave of absence from his lectureship.Despite this, he continued to collect, albeit with less precision than before.Upon his death, the estates were claimed by his closest relatives, including four siblings and six nieces and nephews, who sought to protect their rights during the estate inventory. The valuation was conducted by museum experts, resulting in a list of 2,650 items, with a final value of 20,190 SEK and 32 öre. However, the valuation was considered to be approximately one third of the antiquarian value, as several objects were grouped under the same number.The heirs proceeded with the sale of the collections to raise funds. The Västergötland Ancient Monuments Society was initially offered the entire collection for SEK 100,000.Despite efforts to secure funding for the acquisition, the heirs expressed impatience and demanded a faster sale.An auction was scheduled for 31 March 1905, and in the interim, the association worked diligently to raise the necessary capital. The Gothenburg Museum was engaged to include several museums in the rescue plan in the event that the society failed to raise funds in time.The sum requested was considered excessive, and the amount was reduced to SEK 50,000. Amidst these financial uncertainties, a will came to light from Nilsson's whereabouts, designating the Gothenburg Museum as the sole beneficiary of the collections, with the stipulation that the city of Gothenburg settle a debt of approximately ten thousand SEK.The Gothenburg Museum promptly took measures to protect its interests.
It looks like this was one of his huge collections.

The interesting part is that Christian Hammer is assigned as the producer of this nice little miniature.
