Fra Skoltebyen i Boris Gleb

Avbildet står presten Konstantin Prokopjevitsj Sjtsjekoldin med sin familie, i skoltebyen nærliggende kirken i Boris Gleb i Russland. Mannen ved siden av han er trolig svigersønnen og salmeleser V.M. Ivanovsky som tjenestegjorde med han.

Tromholt skriver: "Near these stand some wretched wooden huts on poles, in which a dozen Russian-[Sami] families dwell. From every nook and corner they swarmed on my arrival, one more ugly and dirty than the other. What a herd of children! Most having nothing else to cover them than a torn shirt; it sounds incredible that they could exist in the 70th degree of latitude with hardly any better protection than savages at the Equator. There was only one man in the village; the rest were away fishing.

"Russian lapland, chiefly consisting of the peninsula of Kola, is very sparsely populated, and the mode of living of the Sami here differs but little from that of the [Sami] in Norway and Sweden. They life chiefly by fishing - in the summer spread along the shored of the lakes, rivers and sea - in little huts; in the autumn, however, they move to their winter dwellings, which form generally little villages or settlements. This mode of concentration shows that the Russian-Sami cannot possess large herds of reindeer, as the latter would soon exhaust the moss-grazings, which would drive the settlers to toher parts. The number of reindeer kept by the [Sami] in Russia is so small that may reside in the same place for many years."
Fra "Under the Rays of the Aurora Borealis, vol 2" av Sophus Tromholt (1885)

Teknikk

Tørrplate negativ

Tørrplatene kom i bruk fra 1870-årene. De var ferdig preparerte og kunne fremkalles en tid etter at platen ble eksponert, slik at fotografen slapp å ha tilgang til mørkerom ute i felt.
