Life

Sports career

Jerima won the 100 m and 200 m Finnish Championship in 1913, 1914 and 1915, but was later stripped of the titles as he held the Russian citizenship. After granted with the Finnish citizenship, Jerima won the 1919 Championship titles on 4 × 100 m and 4 × 400 m relays representing HIFK.[2]

Jerima played football for HIFK Helsinki and Sport Helsinki. In 1911, he was a member of the Finland squad in their first international scoring Finland's second goal on the 5–2 loss against Sweden.[3]

Jerima studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and the University of Art and Design.

In 1931, Jerima was named as Tilgmann's art director and 1945 the vice director. As an illustrator, Jerima is best known of his Christmas cards signed with the initials ″JEF″.[4]
