Title:
Norwegian Folk Costumes from Moranger and Oster near Bergen – 1860s
This engaging 19th-century chromolithograph presents traditional regional costumes from Moranger and Oster, two coastal districts near Bergen on the western coast of Norway. The image shows a man and woman standing side by side outdoors, framed by a dramatic rocky landscape and distant sailboats on a calm sea. This setting evokes both the rural and maritime identity of the region.
The woman is dressed in a red bodice with green trim worn over a white blouse, a dark blue skirt, and a white apron. She wears a traditional headscarf tied under the chin and holds a flat basket across her hip, suggesting agricultural or household work. Her costume is decorated with a prominent silver brooch and other traditional ornaments. The man stands confidently with an axe resting at his side, wearing yellow breeches, blue stockings, and a red woolen shirt beneath a beige jacket. His red knitted cap and long white beard give him a weathered, seafaring look that ties the region’s fishing and farming heritage together.
This print is Plate 8 from the renowned series Udvalgte Norske Nationaldragter, or Selected Norwegian National Costumes. The series was published by Chr. Tonsberg in Christiania (now Oslo) and printed by the lithographic firm Winckelmann and Sonner in Berlin. The artwork was created by Johan Fredrik Eckersberg, a prominent 19th-century Norwegian painter known for his romantic and ethnographic depictions of rural life. The series was created to document and preserve Norway’s rich traditions of regional dress during a time of growing national awareness.
This plate offers a valuable look into the daily life and attire of Norway’s coastal communities, ideal for collectors and admirers of maritime and ethnographic art.
