Lot of 3 Vintage Original 35mm Kodachrome Slides: Swedish Folk Musicians & Dancers in Traditional Costume
Location: Unspecified stage or cultural venue; likely Swedish folk performance based on visible Swedish flag and traditional costume details.
Date: No date imprints; all three slides are Kodachrome red-border mounts with three lines of type, which were in use 1955-1959.

Item Description
This lot includes three original Kodachrome slides showing a staged folk music and dance performance by performers in traditional Swedish or Swedish regional costume. One slide shows a close view of violinists playing together on stage, with men in black vests, white shirts, pale yellow knee breeches, dark stockings, and red trim, alongside women in striped red folk skirts and embroidered costume details. The other two slides show dancers in motion, including paired dancers in front of a seated or standing folk ensemble and a singer or announcer standing near a microphone. A Swedish flag is visible at the side of the stage, helping support the identification of the group as Swedish.

Key Photographic Elements
This set is especially appealing as a mid-century folk performance group lot rather than a single isolated image. The three slides together show both the musical and dance aspects of the performance, including violin players, dancers, traditional clothing, stage lighting, and a formal indoor performance setting. The costumes appear consistent with Swedish regional folk dress, possibly Dalarna-style or related regional costume traditions, though no exact troupe or venue is identified on the mounts. The three-line red-border Kodachrome mounts place the slides in the 1955-1959 period, making the set a strong collectible subject for Swedish folk culture, Scandinavian music and dance, traditional costume, violin performance, and mid-century cultural event photography.

Condition Report
This is a lot of three original 35mm Kodachrome transparencies in red-border cardboard mounts with three lines of type, with no written date, location, or event inscription. The slides have good color and strong illuminated stage subjects, with the performers, instruments, costumes, dancers, microphone, and Swedish flag all visible across the set. As expected with stage photography, the backgrounds are quite dark, but the main performers are generally well lit and readable. There are visible dust specks, small surface marks, and minor edge wear typical of unrestored 1950s Kodachrome slides. Overall, the set remains attractive, presentable, and visually useful, with strong mid-century Swedish folk music and dance subject matter.
