EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of rural life in Norway during the 1910s. The image features a young Norwegian boy, known locally as a 'Skysgut' or 'Skygge' boy, skillfully maneuvering his horse-drawn buggy through a scenic landscape. The term 'Skysgut' translates to 'Shadow Boy' in English, referring to the traditional role of these young boys who would drive their family's carts or carriages while their fathers were away, providing essential support to their families and communities. The horse, named Buggy, appears calm and obedient as it trots along the winding country road. The boy's attire – a simple woolen sweater, trousers, and boots – reflects the harsh climate and rugged terrain of the Norwegian countryside. The cart, with its wooden wheels and simple design, is a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the people during this era. The photograph's muted colors and soft focus create a nostalgic and timeless feel, transporting us back to a simpler time. The rolling hills, lush greenery, and clear blue sky in the background further emphasize the beauty and tranquility of the Norwegian countryside. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily lives of Norwegian farmers and their families during the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of the close relationship between people and their animals, as well as the importance of community and self-sufficiency in rural areas.
