EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white studio portrait, captured by Helene Edlund in 1906, showcases the rich cultural diversity of Sweden during the early 20th century. The image features two women proudly wearing their traditional national costumes, representing the Rattvik region of Dalarna on the left and the Sami people on the right. The woman on the left dons a vibrant, intricately patterned dress from Rattvik, Dalarna, complete with a traditional hat adorned with flowers and a shawl draped over her shoulders. Her outfit reflects the region's strong textile heritage, showcasing the skillful use of color and fabric. In contrast, the woman on the right wears a Sami costume, characterized by its simple yet striking design. She is dressed in a long, flowing skirt made of wool, with a colorful apron and a decorative hat adorned with beads and feathers. Her outfit represents the indigenous people of northern Scandinavia, showcasing the unique textiles and traditions that have been passed down through generations. This powerful image, taken at the Nordiska Museet (Museum of Ethnography) in Stockholm, serves as a testament to the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural heritage of Sweden and Scandinavia. The two women, seated and looking down, exude a sense of pride and tradition, inviting us to explore the rich history and stories behind their national costumes.
