In spite of these facts the material is important historical documentation of the Saami people. You can see many more of these unique old portraits in the following hyper links.

Disse antropologiske foto er tatt i det sentrale nåtidige samiske området i 1884, i alle fire stater. Hver person har et nummerskilt som om de var mistenkt for en forbrytelse noe de selvsagt ikke er.
