EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Little girl with basket and flowers in hands," dates back to the late 1890s and was captured by renowned Swedish photographer Johan Severin Nilson. The image features a young girl named Selma Andersson, who was the daughter of a crofter and a frequent subject in Nilson's works. Selma is depicted standing outdoors, dressed in traditional rural attire, including a long, full apron, a shawl, and clogs. She cradles a wooden bowl in one hand, while the other hand holds a bouquet of wildflowers. The bowl, which is also a prop used in several other Nilson photographs, adds an intriguing element to the image. The girl's expression is one of innocent joy and contentment, as she takes in the beauty of her surroundings. The photograph is a charming representation of rural life in Sweden during the 19th century and showcases the simple yet elegant fashion of the time. The image is a valuable addition to the Nordic Museum Foundation's collection and is a testament to Nilson's skill as a photographer and his ability to capture the essence of childhood and the natural world.
