Postmortem Fotografie

Irgendwie merkwürdig sich diese Bilder anzusehen, ich weiß noch nicht so recht was ich davon halten soll. Irgendwie eher traurig die ganze Angelegenheit

Bilder aus Schweden

Unbekanntes Kind in Kista.

Das selbe Kind lebend

Kista ist das schwedische Wort für Sarg

@Luma30

oder sie schreiben Likkista;
zusammengesetzt aus Kista (Sarg) und Lik (Leiche).

Die Toten wurden damalsin Schweden übrigens (fast) ausschließlich in weißen Totenhemden bestattet. Unabhängig vom Geschlecht. Eigene Kleidung war nicht üblich.

Wird in vielen Regionen Skandinaviens auch heute noch praktiziert.

Danke übrigens für die letzten Bilder,
ich habe auch eineige PM-S aus Schweden, aber diese kannte ich noch nicht.

I find this photograph very sad, it is hard to imagine what the family members must had felt when the photo was taken.

It is quite obvious that the photo is taken in a woodshed, a common place to store the recently deceased before the funeral.

Jöns, son of Henny and Leonard Karlsson, Fullsjön, deceased August 26 1922. The text on the photograph is some sort of poem, and roughly translates:
"An angel came with words (from God),
took little Jöns with him, home to God."
August 26 1922, 19 days old.

Hedvig Palmqvist, (sister of the photographer Sven Palmqvist), deceased at 16 years of age, in the year of 1920.
This black half-circle behind the coffin, it looks like it has been painted into the picture afterwards by the photographer. I would rather have preferred it to be all white instead.

Small girl on lit de parade.
This "tent" covered with spruce/spruce spray looks quite strange, standing in the middle of the farm, but I guess it was some sort of local custom there. As you see, spruce and spruce spray (I'm not really sure that this is what you call it, but my online dictionary says so), seems to have played a major part in the decorations for a funeral. One explonation would be that our woods largely consists of spruce, and are then readily available everyvere. But if I don't recall wrong there are some symbolics involved to. Another thing to look up at the library.;)

"Small child that didn't survive the autumn."
It looks like the ground have been flooded, all muddy.

The text says that "the bodies of children were allowed to be photographed but not grown ups." That would explain the large number of photographs depicting deceased children, but photos of adults do appear as well. Perhaps it was more acceptable to keep a photograph of a dead child? I haven't heard of the practice to not photograph deacesed adults before, so I am a little bit confused. I'm going to the library tomorrow, so maybe I could find out more about it.
Anyway, the girl on this photograph, 1 1/2 year old Märta Linnea Fjällberg, drowned in a "vattenså" (a large container to store water in). Photographed in Kolåsens chapel in 1928. The coffin was decorated with a simple funeral wreath, made of spruce spray, and meadow flowers.
A personal oppinion; she looks to be sami (the indigenous people of northern Sweden and neighbouring countries).

The deceased Stig Eriksson, Brunflo. He disappeared från Grytan June 21 1917 and was recovered dead at Storflon, Kålåsen four days later.
I wonder what actually happened there. I'll try and found out more about it.

Elias Anton Andersson, born in Björksjönäs 1844. He emigrated 1892 to Minnesota, USA, after that he had sold his land in Sweden to his brother Erik Johan. He lived only a couple of months in the new country, before he got seriously ill during the harvest, and died.

In the late winter/early spring of 1946, did three brothers drown, unaware of each others destiny, in the lake Greningen on their way home from their work as timber workers. They didn't drown at the same location, but they all drowned the same day. When the photographer Arvid Halling came to the village, he found all the three brother on lit de parade, surrounded by family and friends.
What an extremely unlikely and tragic accident. Not only that all three of them died, but also that they didn't notice each others demise. Almost that you wouldn't believe it.

Lars-Olov, born December 14 1932, died of leukaemia at Östersunds hospital April 6 1943. The photograph was taken in the familys home in Sjugan. From the left: the boys mother Julia, his grandmother, the widow Märta Ohlin (maiden name Larsson) and his father Lars-Olov Ohlin.
The first of the two images must be the one I think is the best among all images in this collection. It is so sad, that you almost can touch the sorrow. There is something in the composition and light in the picture that makes it wonderful in a very sad way.

All of the above images from http://bildarkivet.jamtli.com (Archiv-Version vom 06.08.2011) originates from the province of Jämtland, which is located in the northwest of Sweden ( Wikipedia: Fil:Sverig ... mtland.svg )

Also from 1915.
The eyes doesn't looke to nice... All black, as it seems. But maybe it is the bad quality of the scan that have enhanced it?

What is up with her eyes? It looks like a thick, black line under one of it.

Maria Zingmark, Grundford, May 1926.
This photo made me think of the Black Death, with the cross painted upon her dress.

52.
http://www.kulturarvvasterbotten.se/cgi ... 58&Imgnr=1
The log-driver Augustin Lundholm, Avan, beside his deceased grandchild Anna. He blamed the doctor for her death and said: "The have slain my granddaughter". Later his house burnt to the ground in an accident after that his wife (who were ill) had spilled kerosene onto herself when making up a fire. During the fire one of the grandchildren ran out on the way outside the house and shouted "Grandma is burning up!". She was later found on the threshold by Nils Landstedt, who collected her remains in a box.
A gruesome story, but how much of it that is true I don't know...

das Bild kenn ich.

Es müsste einen kleinen blonden Jungen im Sarg zeigen, in einem weißen Totenhemd und einer Blume oder Zweig in der rechten Hand - oder ?
