EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the customary greeting in Denmark back in 1907. The image depicts a Danish man and woman dressed in their traditional attire, engaging in a polite exchange of pleasantries. With hands extended towards each other, they greet one another with the phrase "God Dag. Hvorledes har de Det?" which translates to "Good Morning, How are You?". Part of the renowned Greetings of the World series by Hignett Bros. , this vintage cigarette card offers us a glimpse into the social etiquette and manners of that era. The vibrant colors brought to life through lithography add an extra layer of charm to this piece. The attention to detail is evident as we observe every element within the frame - from their formal postures and delicate handshakes to the intricately designed costumes and scarves adorning them. This photograph serves as a testament to Denmark's rich cultural heritage and its emphasis on tradition. As we admire this snapshot from history, it reminds us of how greetings can transcend time and language barriers while reflecting upon our shared humanity. It is an exquisite reminder that even small gestures like these hold immense significance when it comes to fostering connections between individuals across different cultures. This remarkable artwork is now preserved within a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical value.
