1819 1867 Hand Colored Albumen Norwegian Silver
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Finnegut fra Vadsoe" captures the essence of Norwegian culture in the late 19th century. Taken by Marcus Selmer, a renowned Norwegian photographer active in Bergen during the 1860s, this hand-colored albumen silver print showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The image transports us back to about 1867, where we find ourselves immersed in the vibrant world of Finnegut fra Vadsoe. The subject of this photograph is an individual from Vadsoe, a small town located in northern Norway. Dressed in traditional attire, their striking presence commands our attention. Selmer's expert use of hand coloring adds depth and richness to the image, enhancing its visual impact. Every intricate detail - from the delicate embroidery on their clothing to their expressive gaze - comes alive through this artistic technique. As we admire this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, it becomes evident that Selmer had a deep appreciation for preserving cultural heritage through photography. His ability to capture not only physical appearances but also emotions and stories behind each subject is truly commendable. This print serves as a testament to both Selmer's skill as a photographer and his dedication to documenting Norwegian history. It allows us a glimpse into the past while reminding us of the importance of cherishing our cultural roots.
