Hardanger Norwegian National Costume Bunad Damsleth Postcard 1940

Hardanger, Norway1940Divided BackGood

A bride in the full ceremonial Hardanger bunad — silver-and-red crown, richly embroidered apron, geometric border work in blue, green, and red — stands beside her groom in this chromolithograph by Norwegian illustrator Harald Damsleth, one of the country's most celebrated 20th-century graphic artists. The Hardanger costume is among Norway's most recognizable regional dress, and Damsleth's bridal-costume cards are especially sought after within his broader national-costume series.
