EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tranquil harbor of Stavanger, Norway, in the early 1950s. The image showcases the serene beauty of the natural harbor, dotted with colorful boats and framed by the picturesque backdrop of the city's quaint buildings. The solitary figure in the foreground adds an intriguing element to the scene, as we catch a rare glimpse of the statue of Alexander Lange Kielland in its rear view. Alexander Lange Kielland (1849-1906) was a renowned Norwegian realistic writer of the 19th century, whose works often focused on the lives and struggles of the common people. This statue, erected in his honor, stands as a testament to his significant contributions to Norwegian literature. The statue's quiet presence by the harbor adds a historical depth to the photograph, transporting us back in time to the post-war era. The photograph's composition expertly balances the natural and man-made elements, creating a striking juxtaposition between the timeless beauty of the harbor and the enduring legacy of a literary icon. This image offers a captivating glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the rich history and culture of Stavanger and Norway as a whole.
