EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the 19th century with this image of a Sami family outside their traditional home in Norway. The Sami people, also known as Lapps, are an indigenous ethnic group inhabiting the Arctic regions of Northern Europe, including Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. This vintage photograph, estimated to date from the 1870s to the 1890s, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of these resilient and resourceful people. The family, dressed in their traditional attire, stands proudly in front of their turf-covered hut, nestled among the rugged mountains and untouched wilderness. The mountains in the background, with their snow-capped peaks and lush greenery, serve as a breathtaking backdrop to the scene. The family members, both young and old, gaze directly at the camera, inviting us into their world. The Sami people have a rich cultural heritage, with a strong connection to their land and traditions. They are known for their reindeer herding, which has been a vital part of their livelihood for centuries. This photograph is an ethnographic treasure, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a deeper understanding of the Sami people and their way of life during the Victorian era. The image is a testament to the strength and resilience of the Sami people, who continue to thrive in their ancestral lands despite the challenges of the modern world. This vintage photograph is a must-see for anyone interested in history, ethnography, or the indigenous peoples of Northern Europe.
