EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the enigmatic gaze of an Unknown Sami girl, estimated to have been taken between 1890 and 1900. The photograph was created by the renowned Swedish ethnographer and photographer, Helene Edlund (1857-1926). Edlund, also known as Helene Sofie Edlund, was a pioneering figure in the documentation of Nordic heritage and culture, particularly focusing on the Sami people of Lapland. The girl is depicted in a full-length studio shot, dressed in traditional Sami attire. She wears a colorful, intricately patterned dress made of woolen fabric, adorned with elaborate embroidery and fringe. A hat with a distinctive design sits atop her head, completing her traditional ensemble. The girl leans on an old wooden fence, her direct gaze fixed on the camera, exuding a sense of confidence and self-assurance. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Sami people, a native population of Scandinavia. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering insights into their traditional clothing, textiles, and way of life. The image is now part of the extensive collection of the Nordic Museum Foundation (Nordiska museet) in Sweden, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the diverse and fascinating history of the Nordic region.
