Älvdalen(Svezia)

Enter the mysterious world of Maja Daniels’ “Elf Dalia,” a striking photobook about the town of Älvdalen, where an ancient form of Vikings’ Old Norse is still spoken today

Prinzessin Sofias Vater Erik Hellqvist beschäftigt aktuell die schwedische Presse: Er soll sich in Stockholm niedergelassen haben, während Ehefrau Maria im gemeinsamen Heim in Älvdalen zurückblieb. Nun äußert sich sogar der schwedische Hof.

According to Bertil Lundman, the physiognomy of this individual closely recapitulates pre-Neolithic Europeans (note strong resemblance to Mesolithic Cheddar Man from Somerset England). He further reported (in his 1945 dissertation) that this more or less indigenous element made up nearly 30% of the ethnic Älvdalen population. Initially, Halfdan Bryn (1915 & 1921) reported a frequency of 33.3% in the parish of Tydal, Norway. [Fig. 11-12: Nordens Rastyper (Lundman, 1940)].

In 1887, Zorn had received a request from the management of the Uffizi in Florence, to paint a self-portrait for their collection. It was not until 1888, that he completed this, and left the following reflections: "I had by then never painted a portrait in the studio, because of the strange lighting and due to all the people disturbing me, but for my portrait, this could fit... It should be done in oils, and so I began trying. Of course, my vanity would portray me as a man capable of much more than painting, and suiting enough I was working on a bust of Emma in clay, so I let that lump of mud get in there as well."
