EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Woman dressed in folk costume, holiday costume from northern Öland," dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century, captured by the skilled lens of Helene Edlund. The image showcases a woman proudly wearing traditional clothing from the northern part of the Swedish island of Öland. The intricately designed folk costume is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of this region. The woman's attire consists of a full-length, red skirt adorned with intricate white patterns, a white blouse with a high collar, and a red apron. She wears a headscarf, which is held in place by a red headband and a striking headdress made of woven materials. A shawl, also in red, is draped over her shoulders, adding an extra layer of warmth and texture to her outfit. The photograph, hand-coloured or hand-tinted, adds a vibrant and rich quality to the image, enhancing the beauty and detail of the woman's traditional costume. The studio shot captures her in profile, allowing viewers to fully appreciate the intricacies of her clothing and the expressive profile of her face. This photograph is an important piece of anthropological and ethnographic history, providing a glimpse into the traditional clothing and customs of the people of northern Öland during this time. It is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on Scandinavian heritage, fashion, textiles, or the history of photography. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural traditions of the past.
