Norwegian photographer (1868 – 1943)
Solveig Lund (15 April 1868 – 4 October 1943)[1] was a Norwegian photographer.
Early life
Solveig Lund was born on 15 April 1868 in Christiania.[1] She was one of six children of Carl Cornelius Clarin Lund (1824-1906), a customs clerk, and Nilsine Othilia Føyn (1827-1895)[2][3] and was the granddaughter of Samuel Mathiassen Føyn.
Career
Lund trained under photographer Jens Petersen in Copenhagen and established her own studio in Moss in 1892. She later opened a studio in Christiania and worked in Bergen. She appears to have abandoned photography in 1906 and from then on worked hand-coloring her earlier photographs and postcards.[3]
Lund's photography focused on women wearing bunad (traditional Norwegian dress), including many with women wearing bridal crowns. These were reproduced and distributed extensively as postcards.[3][4]
Solveig Lund died on 4 October 1943.[1]
