1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: Lotten von Duben's Portrait of Inga Matsdotter Sjålsa, a 76-year-old Sami Woman from Sjokksjokk's Village, Jokkmokk, Sweden, 1868" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the enigmatic gaze of Inga Matsdotter Sjålsa, a 76-year-old Sami woman from Sjokksjokk's village in Jokkmokk, Sweden. Taken by Lotten von Duben during her husband Gustaf von Duben's ethnological expedition to Lapland in 1868, this portrait offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the indigenous Sami people during the 19th century. Dressed in traditional Sami clothing, Inga Matsdotter Sjålsa wears a colorful coat adorned with intricate patterns, a woolen hat, and a long, flowing dress. Her face, etched with the lines of age and the wrinkles of a life well-lived, speaks volumes about the strength and resilience of the Sami people. The sepia tones of the photograph add an air of nostalgia and timelessness, transporting us back to a bygone era. As a significant historical artifact, this portrait is an invaluable contribution to the ethnographic and anthropological record of the Sami people. It is a testament to their rich cultural heritage and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the stories and traditions of indigenous communities. Today, this photograph can be found in the collections of the Nordiska Museet (Swedish Museum of Ethnography) in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the diverse and fascinating history of the Sami people. Lotten von Duben's portrait of Inga Matsdotter Sjålsa is a poignant reminder of the past, a window into the lives of the Sami people, and a powerful symbol of the enduring legacy of indigenous cultures.
