Eric Enstrom (b. 1875 near Mora, Sweden – d. November 16, 1968 [1] in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, USA, after retiring to Coleraine) was famous for his 1918 photograph of Charles Wilden in Bovey, Minnesota. The photo is now known as Grace and depicts Wilden saying a prayer over a simple meal. In 2002, "Grace" was designated the state photograph of Minnesota.[2]
