Poster with a historical photograph of Trondheim and the harbor area. In the foreground is the ship Talaria. On one of the houses in the harbor it says a/s Konserv Hermetikfabrik.


A picture by photographer Kristoffersson who visited the city in 1949 and we now have a charming series of pictures from Trondheim.

The picture shows a snapshot of Trondheim in the post-war period, a time when the city was still recovering from the Second World War. The harbor was a central part of the town's economy and life, especially for trade and industry. The ship in the picture is a central component that symbolizes Trondheim's importance as a port city. The name of the canning factory on one of the houses indicates the town's industrial character and its focus on food processing, especially canning, which was important for preserving fish and other goods for export or local consumption. This house represents the practical architecture of the harbor area, built for function rather than aesthetics. The picture gives an insight into daily life and work in Trondheim in the post-war period, a time when fishing and canning were important industries.
