EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, transports us to the breathtaking landscapes of Western Norway, specifically the region of Søre (pronounced 'Sore'). The image showcases a horse and cart making its way along a narrow, winding road at the foot of towering mountains. The serene scene is further enhanced by the warm glow of a lantern, casting a gentle light on the rugged terrain and the sturdy horse, which appears to be carrying goods from a nearby village. The tranquility of this moment in time is a stark contrast to the rugged and challenging terrain that surrounds it. The mountains, with their snow-capped peaks and steep inclines, loom in the background, a testament to the resilience and determination of the people who call this place home. This photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, which offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily lives of people in Western Norway at the turn of the 20th century. The horse and cart, a common mode of transportation during this era, adds to the authenticity of the scene, making it a fascinating piece of historical documentation. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the simple pleasures and the raw beauty of nature that can be found in even the most remote and unassuming places. The horse and cart, the mountains, and the lantern all come together to create a timeless image that captures the essence of Western Norway and the spirit of a bygone era.
