EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured full-length studio portrait, titled "Nejla Åren, Frostviken, 1890-1900," was created by the renowned Swedish photographer Helene Edlund. The image captures a proud and regal young Lapland boy, identified as Nejla Åren, seated against a backdrop of rocks in the Frostviken area of Jamtland County, Sweden. Dressed in traditional Sami clothing, Nejla wears a blue coat adorned with intricate patterns and a matching hat, both made of thick, warm textiles suitable for the harsh Nordic climate. The boy's expression is one of quiet pride as he looks away from the camera, adding an air of mystery to the image. The photograph is an essential contribution to the ethnographic and anthropological records of the 19th century, providing insight into the traditional dress and customs of the Sami people, an indigenous group native to Scandinavia. The meticulously hand-coloured technique used by Helene Edlund adds a vibrant and timeless quality to the image, making it a valuable piece of heritage art and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Sweden and the Nordic region. This remarkable portrait is part of the extensive collection of the Nordiska Museet Foundation (Nordic Museum) in Stockholm, Sweden, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the diverse cultural heritage of the past.
