EDITORS COMMENTS
Sami man with a stick," was taken by Lotten von Duben during her husband Gustaf von Duben's ethnological expedition to Lapland in 1868. The image is a poignant snapshot of a Sami man, dressed in traditional apparel, standing full length before the camera with a determined gaze. The man wears a colorful tunic, adorned with intricate patterns, and a conical hat, both typical of Sami clothing. He holds a long stick in his right hand, adding an air of authority and strength to his pose. The photograph, taken in a remote location in Lapland, Europe, captures the essence of the Sami people and their rich cultural heritage. Lotten von Duben, a Swedish woman, was an active participant in her husband's ethnographic work, documenting the lives of the indigenous Sami people through her photography. Her album, which includes this image, is a valuable historical record of the Sami people during the 19th century. The photograph is a testament to the importance of ethnographic and anthropological research in preserving the cultural heritage of indigenous communities. It also showcases the fashion and clothing trends of the time, offering a glimpse into the past. The direct gaze of the Sami man, as he looks at the camera, adds a sense of connection and intimacy to the image, making it a compelling piece of historical and cultural significance." This photograph is part of the collection of the Nordic Museum Foundation, Stockholm, Sweden, and is a valuable addition to the museum's extensive archive of Nordic heritage. It is a reminder of the rich cultural diversity that exists within the Nordic region and the importance of preserving and celebrating the traditions and histories of all its peoples.
