EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by Helene Edlund in 1912, showcases a group of four individuals proudly wearing traditional Sami folk costumes. The Sami people, also known as Lapps or Laplanders, are an indigenous Finnic-speaking population inhabiting the northernmost parts of Scandinavia and Russia. The image features two women and two men, all dressed in full Sami attire. The women are seated, one looking away with a serene expression, the other standing with a determined gaze. Their costumes consist of colorful, intricately patterned skirts made of wool or linen, topped with long, fitted jackets adorned with fur trims and embroidered details. The men, wearing similar jackets and trousers, complete their outfits with tall, conical hats, known as gákti or luummepulka, and thick, fur-lined boots. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Sami people and their deep connection to the natural environment. The use of natural materials, such as wool, linen, and fur, reflects the harsh yet beautiful conditions of their homeland. The image also highlights the importance of clothing as a means of expressing identity and preserving traditions. The photograph was taken in a studio setting, likely for ethnographic or anthropological purposes, and is now part of the Nordiska Museet Foundation's extensive collection in Sweden. It serves as an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history and culture of the Sami people and the Nordic region.
