EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Two Sami Men" and captured by Swedish photographer Helene Edlund between 1890 and 1900, offers a rare glimpse into the traditional attire and way of life of the indigenous Sami people from Lapland during the late 19th century. The two men, dressed in full Sami costume, are shown seated and standing against a plain background, their expressions serious and unsmiling. The man on the left wears a long, dark coat with intricate geometric patterns, a traditional Sami dress adorned with beads and fringe, and a colorful bobble hat. His boots, or "carriage boots," are made of thick, sturdy material, likely leather, and are adorned with decorative lacing and fringes. The man on the right wears a similar coat, but with lighter patterns, and a simpler hat. Both men hold their hats in their hands, perhaps in preparation for a demonstration or display. This studio portrait, hand-coloured by Edlund, is a valuable ethnographic and anthropological record of the Sami people and their traditional clothing. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Scandinavia and the importance of preserving and celebrating the diversity and uniqueness of indigenous communities. The photograph is a reminder of the past, but also a connection to the present, as the Sami people continue to thrive and maintain their traditions in modern-day Sweden and other Nordic countries.
