EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the deep Olden Valley in Norway, circa 1905. The image showcases a farmer's water-power grindstone and sod-roofed gristmill, offering a glimpse into rural life during that era. The man in traditional Norwegian attire stands proudly beside the contraption, holding a scythe - an essential tool for his occupation. The photograph beautifully captures the rustic charm of this remote location. The sod roof adds to the authenticity of the scene, blending harmoniously with the surrounding countryside. One can almost imagine hearing the soothing sound of water flowing through the mill as it powers the grindstone. This snapshot offers insight into regionalism and tradition dress prevalent in early 20th-century Norway. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when people relied on such mills for their livelihoods and communities were closely connected to their natural surroundings. Preserved by Underwood & Underwood's Travel Library collection, this vintage stereoscopic card allows us to travel back in time and appreciate both the craftsmanship of these historical structures and the hard work put forth by farmers like this unknown gentleman from long ago.
