Old pictures of Hardanger Bunads

LA bunad.jpg (49465 bytes)This is Lill Ann from USA, in her Hardanger bunad. She got it after her aunt. This picture is around 50 years old! Lill Ann has still this little bunad in her cedar chest, and it is in real good condition!

Thank you Lill Ann for sharing this little treasure with us!

 

"De svarta trollet åt venster är Marta Hereina"This pictures from Ann Viking Sætre is taken around 1920-1930.

Notice the headscarf, only to be used by the married women! Also, most of the women had the "fangbandet", also used by the married women.

On this picture you can see Ann Viking Sætres paternal grandmother Gudrun as number 2 from the left. The picture surely taken on a 17 May, earlier than the next picture, as Gudrun looks a bit younger.
This is a more closeup on Gudrun, maybe taken on her confirmation around 1929-1930, maybe later, on her wedding-day?

On this picture you can see she have the "fangbandet", and the tradition is that only  married women should wear that, so, I assume this is after her marriage.
