Nils Olsson Reppen (1856-1925) was born on the farm Reppen in Sogndal, Norway. In 1882 he immigrated to the US and started a career as a photographer in Browns Valley, Minnesota. He returned to Norway and set up business as a photographer in Sogndal in the 1890s. The majority of Reppen’s negatives were lost in a fire in 1965, and only 388 glass plate negatives remain today.
And here are some of his remain negatives we chose from the collection of Fylkesarkivet i Sogn og Fjordane, all sterephotographs, depicting farms and villages in Sogn in the 1900s.
