EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of Lapland, where the magic of winter unfolds in this vintage photograph. In this tranquil scene, Laplanders gracefully tend to their beloved reindeer, their faces illuminated by the warm glow of a lantern. Dressed in traditional clothing, these skilled farmers demonstrate the deep connection they share with their animals, a bond that has been passed down through generations. The Edwardian era comes to life in this evocative image, transporting us back in time to an era of simplicity and harmony with nature. The reindeer, with their large, expressive eyes and gentle demeanor, seem to understand the gentle touch of their human caretakers as they are milked. The soft, powdery snow blankets the ground, adding an ethereal quality to the scene. The use of a lantern as the only source of light accentuates the intimacy of the moment, creating a sense of warmth and coziness amidst the winter chill. The image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Laplanders, who have thrived in this harsh, yet beautiful environment for centuries. This photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Laplanders and their reindeer during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. It is a reminder of the beauty and simplicity of a time long gone, and a celebration of the enduring bond between humans and animals.
