EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Raftsund in Lofoten, Norway, dating from the late 19th century. The picturesque scene transports us to a bygone era, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time. Nestled amidst the rugged and dramatic landscape of Lofoten, Raftsund is a breathtaking fjord renowned for its stunning beauty. In this photograph, we see a tranquil and idyllic view of the fjord, with traditional rorbu cabins nestled along the shoreline. These cabins, built on stilts, were once used by fishermen during the lucrative herring fishing season. The photograph is a rare coloured image, adding to its historical significance and visual appeal. It is believed to have been produced using the photocrom or photochrom process, a popular method for creating colour prints during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural traditions of Norway. The photograph invites us to imagine the daily lives of the people who once lived and worked in this beautiful and remote corner of the world. It is a poignant reminder of the passing of time and the enduring beauty of nature.
