EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming postcard, sent from Christiania (now Oslo), Norway in 1907, captures a moment of tranquility and love between the renowned Norwegian composer, Edvard Grieg (1843-1907), and his wife, Nina (née Hagerup) Grieg (1845-1935). The image beautifully encapsulates the couple's deep connection, as they sit together on a garden bench, surrounded by the lush greenery and vibrant flowers of their summer residence. Edvard Grieg, a national hero in Norway, was a prolific composer whose works, including the iconic "Peer Gynt Suite" and "Morning Mood," continue to captivate audiences worldwide. His music, rooted in Norwegian folk traditions, helped to establish a distinctly Norwegian musical identity. Nina Grieg, an accomplished pianist and singer, was an integral part of her husband's artistic world. She served as his muse, collaborator, and dedicated advocate, promoting his music and supporting his career. Their partnership was not only professional but deeply personal, as evidenced by this tender photograph. The postcard's inscription, though faded with time, reveals that it was sent by a friend to a recipient named "Dear Mrs. K." It reads, "Edvard and Nina Grieg in their garden at Christiania. They are both well and happy. With love, [Name]." This message, along with the image of the couple, offers a glimpse into their private lives and the warmth of their relationship. This postcard, now a precious piece of musical and historical heritage, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring love and partnership between Edvard and Nina Grieg, as well as their significant contributions to Norwegian culture and music.
