EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "The Young Lady of Norway," showcases a historical anecdote that has transcended time and continues to intrigue and amuse audiences. The photograph, published in 1846, depicts a young, casually dressed Norwegian lady seated on a narrow doorway. The doorway, with its archaic design, appears to be just wide enough to accommodate her slender frame. However, as the door is squeezed shut, the lady remains unfazed, exclaiming, "What of that?" with a nonchalant expression. The origins of this tale can be traced back to the 18th century, where it was first published as a nonsensical verse in Edward Lear's "A Book of Nonsense." The whimsical poem, which has since become a beloved classic, has captivated generations with its playful and absurd nature. Despite the seemingly mundane setting, this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of a young Norwegian woman during the mid-19th century. The image, with its timeless charm and sense of courage, continues to inspire and delight audiences, reminding us of the importance of maintaining a sense of humor, even in the face of adversity. The Young Lady of Norway serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the ability of art to transport us to another time and place. This photograph, with its rich history and intriguing backstory, is a must-have for any history or art enthusiast's collection.
