EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured full-length studio portrait, titled "Mattias Årén, Frostviken Lapland, 1890-1900" by Helene Edlund, offers a glimpse into the past of the indigenous Sami people of Lapland, Sweden. The image, taken in the late 19th century, depicts a man named Mattias Årén, dressed in traditional Sami clothing, leaning on his walking stick and looking away from the camera. The Sami people, also known as Lapps or Laplanders, are an ethnic group native to the Arctic regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. This portrait, taken in the Frostviken area of Jamtland County, showcases the unique and intricate design elements of their traditional dress. Mattias wears a blue tunic with geometric patterns, a colorful waistcoat, and a bobble hat adorned with fringes. The clothing is made of various textiles, including wool and possibly leather, which were essential for survival in the harsh Nordic climate. Helene Edlund, a renowned Swedish ethnographer and photographer, captured this image as part of her extensive documentation of the Sami people and their culture. The portrait is a valuable historical artifact, providing insight into the traditional clothing and lifestyle of the Sami people during this period. The image is now part of the Nordiska Museet Foundation's collection in Sweden, which focuses on preserving and promoting Nordic heritage and culture. The portrait's rich colors and intricate details make it a fascinating visual representation of the Sami people's heritage. The man's posture, with one elbow leaning on a walking stick, adds a sense of calm and introspection to the image. This portrait is a testament to the importance of documenting and preserving cultural heritage for future generations.
