EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Woman in Sami Costume" by Helene Edlund, dates back to the late 19th century, approximately between 1880 and 1898. The image was captured in the Frastviken region of Lapland, a remote area in the northernmost parts of Sweden, inhabited by the indigenous Sami people. Edlund, a renowned Swedish photographer of the era, skillfully captured this young Sami woman in her traditional attire. The woman is dressed in a blue, hand-coloured, embroidered dress, adorned with intricate needlework and embellished with tassels. She wears a hat with a distinctive design, and carries a walking stick, adding to the authenticity of her traditional Sami outfit. The woman in the photograph is shown with a posture of confidence, one hand on her hip, and a thoughtful expression on her face as she looks away from the camera. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Sami people, who have inhabited the Arctic regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia for thousands of years. This studio shot, which was hand-coloured or hand-tinted, is a valuable piece of anthropological and ethnographic documentation. It provides a glimpse into the traditional clothing and textiles of the Sami people during the late 19th century, a time when their way of life was undergoing significant changes due to the encroachment of modernization. The Nordic Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, holds this photograph in its collection as part of its extensive archive of Nordic heritage art and cultural history. The Nordiska Museet Foundation, which manages the museum, preserves and showcases this important image to promote awareness and appreciation of the diverse cultural heritage of the Nordic region.
