This is a CdV and it is foreign..Norwegian I think. She has a lovely warm looking hat with mittens to match. Now for the big question..are those some kind of skates that she has over her shoulder? Interesting!
Trondheim or Trondhjem is a city in Norway.
Thanks for stopping by, do come again:) Update: From Jo: The photo is from around 1910.
Yes they look like skate runners you would attach to a pair of boots rather than permanent skating boots.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting and unique photo Connie.
ReplyDeleteI wonder who's thumb print is on the picture? :)
ReplyDeleteThose skate blades are really long, they look like speed skates to me. She looks like she might be rather muscular in the legs.
I find the fingerprints on the photo interesting. Do you think they are the photographers?
ReplyDeleteNancy and Iggy, Yes, I think the finger prints are the Photographers or his messy assistant!
ReplyDeleteAlan..Skate runners..thanks for the input, I had a pair when I was younger..but the blades were not nearly as long as these:)
Yes they are skate blades. It is an interesting shot with her in her winter garb.
ReplyDeletethe photagrapher worked in trondheim around 1910.
ReplyDeletefound a swedish site with referance to the Photographers name.
maybe the fingerprints are the same ;)
