EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 1868 photograph, Lotten von Duben immortalized the enigmatic figure of Mannberg, also known as Quickjock, a bellman from Lapland, during her husband Gustaf von Duben's ethnological expedition. The image, taken at the height of the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of Nordic culture and fashion. Mannberg's striking appearance is accentuated by his thick beard, which frames his weathered, wrinkled face. His forehead creases with worry lines, adding depth to his direct gaze. He wears a simple, yet colorful outfit consisting of a coat and a dress, the latter reaching down to his ankles. The clothing, with its intricate patterns, reflects the traditional attire of the Lapland region. The photograph, taken in a head-and-shoulders format, captures Mannberg's intense gaze, which seems to penetrate the very soul of the viewer. His facial expression, a mixture of concern and curiosity, adds to the intrigue of the image. The sepia tone of the photograph adds to its vintage charm, transporting us back in time to the 1860s. This photograph, part of Lotten von Duben's personal photo album, is now preserved in the Nordiska Museet (Museum of Ethnography) in Stockholm, Sweden. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Nordic region and the importance of documenting the lives and traditions of its people. The image of Mannberg, Quickjock, remains a powerful reminder of the past, inviting us to explore the stories and histories hidden within the frames of these precious photographs.
