EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a heartwarming moment of a family gathering at Gjendebod in Western Norway, circa 1900. Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the region, Gjendebod is a historic farmstead and ferry stop located at the foot of the Gjende Lake. The serene setting, with its crystal-clear waters reflecting the surrounding mountains, has long been a popular destination for travelers and locals alike. In this image, we see a group of locals, dressed in their traditional national costumes, gathered around a lantern. The intricate patterns and vibrant colors of their clothing stand out against the backdrop of the dark night, adding a touch of warmth and charm to the scene. The family members, both young and old, appear to be in high spirits, engaged in lively conversation or perhaps sharing stories of their daily lives. The lantern, a practical and essential tool for lighting the way in the absence of electricity, adds an authentic touch to the photograph. It serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures and close-knit communities that once thrived in this remote corner of Western Norway. This photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, which showcases the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of Western Norway. The collection, dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, offers a unique glimpse into the lives of the people who called this region home. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the enduring connection between the people and the land that has shaped the history of Western Norway.
