EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Swedish Minstrels at St. James's Hall, 1858," showcases a vibrant and diverse group of Swedish performers, captured in their traditional costumes during a performance at the renowned St. James's Hall in London. The image features ten singers, each representing different provinces of Sweden, showcasing the unique attire and heritage of their respective regions. The most intriguing figure of the group is the Laplander, who is depicted in the far left corner of the photograph. His appearance is distinctly different from the other singers, reflecting his racial origins as one of the earliest inhabitants of Sweden. The singer in the white coat, blue waistcoat, and yellow smallclothes, represents Dalecarlia, one of the most significant provinces of Sweden. The singer in the short blue coat, long waistcoat, dark smallclothes, and boots, is from Smaland. The long dark coat, cap, yellow smallclothes, and shoes, worn by the next figure, signify the costume of Vermeland. The last two singers in the photograph represent two different districts of the province of Skane. Their costumes add to the rich tapestry of Swedish culture and tradition that is on display in this image. The series of performances given by the Swedish singers at St. James's Hall in 1858 has significantly boosted their reputation, and their upcoming tour in the provinces is expected to be a resounding success. This photograph serves as a testament to their talent and the enduring appeal of their traditional music and costumes.
