EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Costumes d Hitterdal, Norvege (engraving)" takes us back to 19th century Norway, showcasing the traditional attire and lifestyle of the people in Hitterdal. The engraving, created by an anonymous European School artist, is part of a private collection and was featured in Louis Figuier's book "Les Races Humaines" published by Hachette in 1872. The image has been digitally cleaned to restore its original beauty and clarity. It depicts a woman dressed in native Norwegian costume standing near a cottage with smoke rising from the fire she tends to. This scene offers us insight into the ethnological diversity present within humanity, highlighting cultural differences through clothing and gastronomy. The craftsmanship evident in her garments reflects the rich heritage of Norwegian culture as well as their skillful handywork. The woman's role as a cook further emphasizes the importance of food preparation within this community. It is important to note that while this image showcases specific racial types and stereotypes prevalent during that era, it serves as a valuable historical document rather than perpetuating any harmful narratives or biases. Overall, this print provides us with a glimpse into Norway's past - its customs, traditions, and unique way of life - inviting us to appreciate both the beauty of diversity among human beings and our shared humanity across different cultures.
