EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Wife Inga Åren. Frostviken, Lapland, 1890-1900," is a stunning hand-coloured full-length studio portrait of a Sami couple, Nejla Macka Åren and her husband, taken by renowned Swedish photographer Helene Edlund during the late 19th century. The image captures the essence of traditional Sami life in the Frostviken region of Lapland, in what is now Jamtland County, Sweden. The couple is dressed in their traditional Sami attire, with Inga wearing a blue, hand-tinted dress adorned with intricate patterns and a distinctive hat. Her husband wears a simple, yet elegant, traditional Sami outfit, complete with a woolen tunic and trousers. The couple stands facing each other, with Inga looking away, adding an enigmatic quality to the image. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Sami people, an indigenous group native to the Nordic region. The clothing, made of high-quality textiles, reflects the harsh climate and the unique traditions of the Sami people. The image is a valuable addition to the ethnographic and anthropological records of the time, providing a glimpse into the lives of the Sami people during the 19th century. Helene Edlund, a pioneering Swedish photographer, captured this image as part of her extensive work documenting the lives and customs of the Sami people. The photograph is now part of the collection of the Nordiska Museet Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden, and serves as an important reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Sami people and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
