They not only show buildings and landscapes, but also people's clothing, working life and social interactions, which gives a rich insight into local culture and everyday life.

Contrast to the present: When the pictures are hung on the wall, they create an interesting contrast to contemporary life and technology. The black-and-white aesthetics, the simple life and the technology of the time stand in sharp contrast to colorful, modern images, which can lead to discussions and comparisons about the development over time.

Aesthetic value: Black-and-white pictures from 1949 have their own aesthetic quality that can be very attractive as decoration. They give a classic, timeless expression that can fit into many different interior styles, from the rustic to the modern. Each picture can function as an artistic installation, where composition, light and shadow play a central role.

Personal connection: For someone with roots in or a strong connection to Trondheim, these images can create a personal connection to the place and its history, making them more than just decoration. They can become a source of pride, a reminder of heritage and origin.

Interactive stories: When you look at these pictures, you can imagine the stories behind each scene - who was the trikke conductor? What did the skaters think? In this way, each image becomes not only a visual experience, but also an invitation to create and share stories, which can be particularly engaging in a social context.

Connection to society: The pictures can also serve as a reminder of society's development, from a society on its way out of the wars to today's modern Trondheim. They can inspire conversations about social change, technological development and how everyday life has changed.

Having these pictures as paintings on the wall is therefore not just a decorative act, but a deep experience that combines art, history and personal reflection, and that creates a unique atmosphere in the room where they hang.
