EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - "A Lapp Family, 1914". The Sami people, known for their semi-nomadic reindeer herding lifestyle, are the subjects of this intriguing image. Taken from the book "Norge - Turistruter I 65 Billeder" published by Mittet & Co in Kristania (now Oslo) in 1914, this photograph showcases the daily life of an indigenous Lapland family. In front of a humble hut's doorway stands a man, his direct gaze fixed upon the camera. Beside him is a woman, radiating strength and resilience. Together they represent the rich cultural heritage of Norway's Sami community. Two young boys stand close by, curious about their surroundings and eager to explore their world. The monochrome composition adds depth and texture to this vintage portrait. It transports us back to early 20th century Lapland where people relied on reindeer as both working animals and sources of sustenance. As we admire this snapshot from history, it reminds us of the importance of preserving our cultural roots and celebrating diversity. The unknown creator skillfully captured not only an ordinary day but also a glimpse into an extraordinary way of life that has shaped generations. This print serves as a powerful reminder that behind every image lies stories waiting to be discovered – stories that connect us all through our shared humanity.
