EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the customary greeting in Norway back in 1907. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring to life the rich cultural heritage of this Scandinavian nation. In the image, we see a Norwegian man and woman dressed impeccably in traditional attire, engaging in an exchange that goes beyond mere pleasantries. The phrase "God Dag, Hvorledes har du Det?" or "Hello, How are you" is at the heart of this interaction. It represents not only a polite salutation but also reflects the genuine concern for one another's well-being ingrained within Norwegian society. This photograph serves as a testament to their deep-rooted values of community and connection. Part of the Greetings of the World series by Hignett Bros. , Imperial Tobacco Company, this particular card holds historical significance. It showcases how even something as simple as greetings can be elevated into an art form through intricate details like lace headdresses and formal handshakes. As we admire this vintage piece today, it reminds us to appreciate our own customs and manners while celebrating those from different cultures around us. This print acts as a bridge between generations, inviting us to reflect on how traditions evolve over time yet remain essential threads woven into our collective human experience.
