EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the wise and weathered visage of Amund Nilsson Länta, a 70-year-old Sami man from Sirka's village, taken in the late 19th century during an ethnological expedition to Lapland led by Gustaf von Duben. The photograph, taken by his wife Lotten von Duben, is a poignant glimpse into the past, offering a window into the lives of the indigenous Sami people of Europe during this period. Amund's direct gaze into the camera challenges the viewer with a sense of unspoken wisdom and experience, as his head and shoulders are framed against a simple, weathered backdrop. The black and white, sepia-toned image, reminiscent of the era's anthropological and ethnographic studies, adds to the timeless quality of the portrait. The photograph is part of Lotten von Duben's extensive album of motifs from the expedition, now preserved in the Nordiska Museet Foundation in Sweden. This poignant image of Amund Nilsson Länta serves as an important reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Sami people and the scientific exploration of their lives during the 19th century. The intricately textured details of Amund's face, with its deep wrinkles and creases, reveal the passage of time and the resilience of the human spirit. The portrait stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Sami people and their place in Nordic history.
