EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken between the late 19th century and early 20th century, we are transported back in time to witness two young women proudly donning different national costumes. The image was skillfully captured by Helene Edlund, a renowned photographer of her era.
The subjects stand side by side in a studio setting, emanating an air of elegance and grace. Their attire showcases the rich diversity of traditional clothing from various cultures during that period. Adorned with intricate patterns and textures, their garments reflect the unique heritage and customs associated with each region.
One woman wears a striking striped dress paired with an apron, representing the Scandinavian tradition. Her hat adds a touch of sophistication to her ensemble as she stands tall against a backdrop of trees and nature's beauty. The other woman exudes timeless charm in her native costume, showcasing elements indigenous to her culture.
Helene Edlund's expertise shines through this photograph as she captures not only the exquisite details of their clothing but also their poise and confidence. Through her lens, we glimpse into an era where fashion was intertwined with identity and cultural pride.
This vintage print is now preserved within the Nordic Museum Foundation's collection - a testament to its historical significance. It serves as both an anthropological study on traditional apparel as well as a visual representation of how fashion has evolved over time.
As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry by Helene Edlund, let us appreciate the beauty found within these national costumes - symbols that connect us to our past while celebrating our diverse global heritage
