A pink parasol in the Swedish town of Uppsala in 1943…cyclists on a street in Härnösand in 1944… a restaurant in Gothenburg in 1944… people viewing Kjølingefjell mountain in Norway from afar…

We are preparing for a new collection on the Flickr Commons page of the Swedish National Heritage Board, to appear in August 2011. Fredrik Bruno, a Swedish town engineer from Hudiksvall, took a lot of colour diapositives in the 1940s while travelling in Sweden and Norway. Most photos are from a number of Swedish towns, some are from the Swedish countryside and some from Norway.

Enjoy some samples from the forthcoming collection!
