EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of two hardy Norwegian men, dressed in traditional woolen garments, carefully navigating their small wooden boat through the crystal-clear waters of the Esserfjord in Norway during the 1910s. The men are accompanied by their valuable cargo - a few pigs, which are tethered to the sides of the boat, ensuring they stay stable during the journey. The rugged mountains in the background serve as a breathtaking backdrop to this coastal scene, while the sun casts a warm glow over the water, reflecting off the calm surface. The men appear focused and determined, each wielding an oar in one hand, skillfully maneuvering the boat through the gentle waves. Their faces are etched with the marks of time and the elements, a testament to the harsh yet beautiful environment they call home. The pigs, seemingly unfazed by the voyage, gaze out at the passing scenery with curiosity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life was simpler, and the connection between people and nature was stronger. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of those who lived and worked in the coastal communities of Norway, and the importance of the sea and its bounty in their daily lives.
