EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic gaze of Nils Persson Tappa, an elderly Laplander from Arjeplog, Sweden, in the late 19th century. The photograph was taken by Lotten von Duben during her husband Gustaf von Duben's ethnological expedition to Lapland in 1868. The image is part of Lotten's personal photo album, now housed at the Nordic Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. Nils Persson Tappa is dressed in traditional Laplander attire, including a colorful coat, hat, and trousers. His complexion, tinged with a ruddy hue, speaks of a life spent in the harsh Nordic climate. The portrait, captured in sepia tones, adds an air of timelessness and nostalgia to the image. Despite the warm tones and inviting smile, Nils Persson Tappa's expression is one of concern or worry. His gaze is directed away from the camera, adding an intriguing layer of mystery to the portrait. The image offers a glimpse into the lives of the indigenous Sami people of Lapland during a time when their traditional way of life was being threatened by external influences. The portrait is a valuable addition to the rich heritage of Nordic art and ethnography, providing a window into the past and offering insights into the lives of people who lived in the region centuries ago. The Nordic Museum Foundation, which preserves and promotes Nordic cultural heritage, holds this and other treasures in its collection, ensuring that they are accessible to future generations.
