EDITORS COMMENTS
Essefjord, Balholm, Sognefjord, Norway (ca. 1890-1900) This photograph print takes us back in time to the late 19th century in the heart of Norway. The image showcases the picturesque Essefjord, nestled within the larger Sognefjord, one of the longest and deepest fjords in the world. The tranquil waters of Essefjord reflect the vibrant colors of the surrounding landscape, with the quaint Balholm farmstead situated on the left bank. The nostalgic scene is further enhanced by the use of a photochrom process, which imbues the image with a warm, rich hue. The method, popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, involved applying a series of colored pigments to photographs, resulting in a more appealing, colorized representation of reality. The farmstead, with its red-painted buildings and white barn, stands out against the lush greenery and the dramatic mountainous backdrop. The small boats moored at the shore add to the sense of activity and daily life in this idyllic setting. This photograph offers a glimpse into Norway's rich history and the lives of its people during a time when the country was still largely rural and agrarian. The image invites us to reflect on the passage of time and the enduring beauty of the natural world.
