Midsummer Party
Photographic print, anonymous, 1901–1905
Nordic Museum, Stockholm
 
In a studio scene, five road workers mark Midsummer with a modest celebration. Dressed in their work clothes and wearing hats, they gather around a small table—some seated on wooden chairs—while a birch tree stands in the background. They toast and smoke together, drinking either from bottles or glasses, during a pause from building the road between Lima and Rörbäcksnäs, Dalarna County, Sweden, completed between 1901 and 1905.
