Photographie - Photographen – Zwei Aufnahmen zeigen samische Männer und Frauen in traditioneller Kolt-Tracht (gegürtete Tunika, spitz zulaufende Schuhe, charakteristische Kopfbedeckungen), teils mit Hunden. Eine Aufnahme zeigt zwei samische Kinder in traditioneller Kleidung mit Wiegenbrett (Komse). - Zwei größere Gruppenporträts samischer Familien mit gezähmten Rentieren, Zugschlitten (Pulka) und traditioneller Ausrüstung vor winterlicher bzw. kargerer Landschaftskulisse. Die Darstellung von Rentierhaltung, Zeltlagern und Schlittenzug dokumentiert die traditionelle nomadische Wirtschaftsweise der Sámi (Rentiersamen). Zudem eine topografische Ansicht einer nordnorwegischen Küstenstadt Panoramaaufnahme einer dicht bebauten Holzstadt an einer Fjordbucht mit markantem Kirchturm, im Hintergrund kahle, schneebedeckte Berge. Stilistisch und topografisch mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit Hammerfest (Finnmark) vor dem verheerenden Stadtbrand von 1890 zuzuordnen, der einen Großteil der historischen Holzbebauung samt Kirche vernichtete. - Teils verso mit weiteren Photographien.

Photography – Norway.- Collection of 10 albumen prints, mounted on contemporary card supports. Three of the photographs bear the contemporary handwritten pencil annotation "Lapons" - the exonym commonly used in 19th-century French for the Sámi, the indigenous people of Northern Scandinavia. Circa 1870/1880. Each albumen print laid down on card (some double-sided photographs). Each 9.6 x 13.6 cm to 26.5 x 18.3 cm. Two images show Sámi men and women in traditional kolt costume (belted tunic, pointed shoes, characteristic headwear), some accompanied by dogs. One image shows two Sámi children in traditional clothing with a cradle board (komse). Two larger group portraits depict Sámi families with domesticated reindeer, draft sledges (pulka), and traditional equipment, set against a wintry or barren landscape backdrop. The depiction of reindeer husbandry, tent camps, and sledge travel documents the traditional nomadic economy of the reindeer-herding Sámi. In addition, there is a topographic view of a North Norwegian coastal town: a panoramic image of a densely built wooden town on a fjord bay, with a prominent church tower and bare, snow-covered mountains in the background. Stylistically and topographically, this can with high probability be attributed to Hammerfest (Finnmark), prior to the devastating town fire of 1890, which destroyed a large part of the historic wooden buildings, including the church. Some prints bear further photographs on the verso.
