The story behind the motif
Poster with a photograph of Karl Johans gate 20 in Oslo from the year 1898.
In 1898, Norway was still in union with Sweden, but nationalism was growing and the country was approaching independence. Oslo, then called Kristiania, underwent rapid industrialization.
The image captures a time marked by both progress and tradition, where the city's residents were busy with their daily lives in the midst of a time of change.
Frame not included.
