EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by Swedish ethnographer Helene Edlund between 1890 and 1900, presents a captivating moment between two Sami women. The women, dressed in their traditional apparel, stand before a plain backdrop in a studio setting. The elder woman, with a confident posture and a hand on her hip, gazes directly into the camera, while the younger woman, holding her companion's hand, looks off to the side. Their clothing, made of various textiles and fabrics, reflects the rich heritage of the Sami people, an indigenous group from Lapland in Scandinavia. The women's dresses, adorned with intricate designs and patterns, are complemented by their hats, which add a distinctive touch to their outfits. The image, hand-coloured in black and white, offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the fashion and textiles of the Sami people during the nineteenth century. As ethnographic treasures, these photographs are an essential part of the Nordic Museum's collection, which preserves and documents the diverse cultural heritage of Scandinavia.
