Solveig Lund

Solveig Lund (15 April 1868 – 4 October 1943) was a Norwegian photographer.

Early life
Solveig Lund was born on 15 April 1868 in Christiania. She was one of six children of Carl Cornelius Clarin Lund (1824-1906), a customs clerk, and Nilsine Othilia Føyn (1827-1895) and was the granddaughter of Samuel Mathiassen Føyn.

Career
Lund trained under photographer Jens Petersen in Copenhagen and established her own studio in Moss in 1892. She later opened a studio in Christiania and worked in Bergen. She appears to have abandoned photography in 1906 and from then on worked hand-coloring her earlier photographs and postcards.

Lund's photography focused on women wearing bunad (traditional Norwegian dress), including many with women wearing bridal crowns. These were reproduced and distributed extensively as postcards.

Solveig Lund died on 4 October 1943.
