EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the Interior of a Norwegian Sporting Club in Oslo, known as Holmenkollens, during the early 1910s. The room is filled with an inviting atmosphere, as members gather around tables for dining and conversation. The warm, golden light filters in through the large windows, casting a soft glow over the space. At the far wall, a fine portrait of the renowned Arctic explorer Fridtjof Wedel-Jarlsberg Nansen proudly hangs. Nansen (1861-1930) was a Norwegian polar explorer, scientist, diplomat, and humanitarian, who led several groundbreaking expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic. His most notable achievements include leading the first successful crossing of Greenland on foot and the first crossing of the North Pole by sea. The room is adorned with various sporting paraphernalia, including skis and other equipment, reflecting the club's focus on promoting Norwegian sports and physical activity. In the background, a gas heater adds a touch of modern comfort to the space. This photograph, taken in the former name of the city, Christiania or Kristiania (which was changed to Oslo in 1924), provides a fascinating glimpse into Norwegian culture and history. The presence of Nansen's portrait pays homage to the country's rich exploratory heritage and the spirit of adventure that continues to define it today.
