EDITORS COMMENTS
This photographic album, created by Mats Landin in 1861, offers a haunting glimpse into Sweden's criminal past through its collection of black and white portraits of prisoners held at Warberg Fortress that year. The fortress, located in Landskrona, served as a prison and military installation during the 19th century. The album, which also includes images from Landskrona Fortress, is a testament to the justice system of the time and the men who were subjected to it. Each portrait presents a man, often with a stoic expression, framed against a plain background. Their heads and shoulders are the sole focus, drawing the viewer in and inviting them to consider the stories behind each face. The album's historical significance lies not only in its documentation of a specific moment in Swedish criminal history but also in its artistic merit. The images, though simple, possess a timeless quality that resonates with contemporary audiences. The Nordic Museum Foundation's acquisition of this album adds to its extensive collection of Nordic art and cultural heritage, providing a valuable resource for scholars, artists, and anyone interested in the human condition and the complexities of justice and criminality in the 19th century.
