Photo of the week
Instead of my ususal Friday’s Finds I bring you an old photo
This is from the Salvation army’s orphanage in Oslo, Probably around 1911. The Christmas tree is decorated and lit.
The picture is by Anders Beer Wilse, one of the most famous Norwegian photographers. He, of course, did a lot of assignments, but he also travelled Norway and photographed on his own initiative. This means he got to take pictures of people not only in their “Sunday bests”, but also in their every day situation.

Prison’s and jails are a great source. Also, records were burned, due to a church burning down, what about cemetery’s if there is no other record of death?
