EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Western Norway's traditional way of life in the late 19th century. The scene shows a group of Laplanders, or Sami people, outside of low, rustic buildings with their reindeer and sleigh. The Laplanders, dressed in their colorful, warm clothing, are huddled around a lantern, perhaps preparing for a journey through the snowy landscape. The reindeer, with their large antlers and curious expressions, stand patiently nearby, ready to pull the sleigh. The simple, yet sturdy buildings, with their thatched roofs and wooden walls, provide a glimpse into the humble dwellings of these nomadic people. The serene, wintery setting, with its blankets of snow and clear, starry sky, adds to the peaceful and enchanting atmosphere of this photograph. This image, part of the Boswell Collection, is a beautiful reminder of the rich cultural heritage and traditions of Western Norway and the Laplanders who have called it home for generations.
