Eurenius, Wilhelm Abraham (1830-1892) and Quist, Peter Ludvig (1833-1924), were the creative minds behind the photography studio Eurenius & Quist, founded in 1858 in Stockholm. They were one of Stockholm’s first and most frequently hired photographers, and one of the first in Sweden to make the transition from the daguerreotype to photography on paper.
The photographic series Folkdräkter captures Swedish and Norwegian folk costumes and were colored by hand, which added a new dimension to photography. The first photos were most likely taken by Quist around 1855 but were later expanded to more subjects together with Eurenius.
