EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Peter Christian Asbjornsen (1812-1885), a renowned Norwegian folklorist and naturalist, whose significant contributions to the preservation and dissemination of Norwegian folktales left an indelible mark on Norwegian literature and cultural heritage. Born on March 27, 1812, in the village of Ålesund, Asbjornsen spent his formative years immersed in the rich oral traditions of his community. He later moved to Kristiania (now Oslo) to pursue a career in education. However, his true passion lay in collecting and documenting the folktales and legends that he had heard during his childhood. Asbjornsen's most famous collaborative work, "Fairy Tales from Northern Europe," was published between 1845 and 1848, in collaboration with Jørgen Moe. This collection of 38 tales, which included both Norwegian and Danish folktales, was a groundbreaking achievement in the field of folklore studies and remains a beloved classic in Norwegian literature. Asbjornsen's commitment to preserving Norway's folktales extended beyond his writing. He also worked tirelessly to promote the study of folklore and natural history, founding the Norwegian Folk Museum in 1825 and serving as its first director. This photograph captures Asbjornsen in the later years of his life, with a thoughtful expression and a sense of quiet determination. His legacy as a folklorist and naturalist continues to inspire scholars and readers around the world, and his tales remain a cherished part of Norwegian cultural heritage.
