EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1910s in Norway, showcases the simple yet effective means of transportation that was common during that era. Two hearty Norwegian men are seen in the image, each dressed in traditional attire, as they prepare to embark on a journey using a stolkjaerre, a two-wheeled horse-drawn cart. The cart features a front seat designed to accommodate two passengers, along with their luggage, while the driver takes his place in the rear. The men are seen wearing harnesses and holding reins, ready to guide their horses. The rugged terrain and the serene landscape in the background add to the authenticity of the scene, which transports us back in time. The stolkjaerre was a common mode of transportation in Norway and other Scandinavian countries during the late 1800s and early 1900s, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily lives of people during that period. The image is a beautiful representation of the close relationship between the people and their animals, as well as their resourcefulness and resilience in the face of challenging terrain and weather conditions.
