EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Storthing building, the parliament of Oslo, Norway, enveloped in a blanket of fresh snowfall during the year 1905. At the time, Oslo was still known as Christiania, a name it had held since its founding in 1624. The Storthing, which had been established in 1814, was the legislative body of the Kingdom of Norway, and this image offers a glimpse into the past as its members went about their business amidst the winter weather. The Storthing building, designed by architect Hans Ditlev Franck, was completed in 1866 and is a stunning example of 19th-century Neoclassical architecture. Its grandeur is accentuated by the pristine snow, which highlights the intricate details of the building's facade, including the Corinthian columns and the ornate friezes adorning the roofline. This photograph, taken in 1905, offers a unique perspective on the history of Oslo and Norway. It not only showcases the architectural beauty of the Storthing building but also provides a glimpse into the daily life of the city during a bygone era. The snow-covered landscape adds a sense of tranquility and timelessness to the scene, making it a captivating and evocative image that transports us back in time.
