EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in the late 19th century, captures a moment in the daily life of a Lapp family in Norway. Dressed in traditional clothing, the parents and their children pose proudly before their portable tents, or 'lavvus,' which have been used by the indigenous Sami people of Lapland for thousands of years. The family's reindeer herd, an essential source of food and livelihood for the Lapps, can be seen grazing in the background. The rugged, snow-covered landscape of Lapland, with its bare trees and icy rivers, is a stark reminder of the harsh conditions these resilient people faced in their nomadic way of life. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the traditions and culture of a community that has survived and thrived in one of the world's most extreme climates. This image, taken in 1880, is a poignant reminder of the rich history and heritage of the Lapp people and their deep connection to the land and their animals.
