Roeiboot met passagiers meert aan 1889

"Roeiboot met passagiers meert aan" (Rowboat with Passengers Docks), created in 1889 by the German-Norwegian photographer Paul Güssfeldt, captures a tranquil scene of a rowboat approaching a small wooden dock in a Norwegian fjord. The photograph showcases Güssfeldt’s talent for capturing everyday life in a picturesque manner, emphasizing the simplicity of the landscape and the activity of the people. The composition is balanced, with the boat and its passengers serving as the focal point, contrasting with the sturdy wooden buildings lining the shore. The detail of the natural setting and the relaxed atmosphere make this image a charming glimpse into life in Norway during the late 19th century.
