Interesting fact... These are the smallest of the Antarctic penguins. One identifiable mark is their all black head and the white ring around their eye.

That's great, thanks for sharing their work in Brasil :)

Actually, it was not uncommon that unmarried women lived together at the time, due to economy. But Marie Høeg and Bolette Berg were probably a couple, we know that also from other sources. And it's good to be reminded that people were playful also back in the day - we tend to forget that, as the portaits are often very strict and serious, following the convention of the day.

Incredible!!! It is inspirational for all female photographers and/or photography lovers like me. I'll write about it in my blog here in Brazil http://mulheresnafotografia.com/! Portuguese speakers must know them. Thanks for sharing their pieces!

I think you have to give credit to Berg & Høeg instead of dismissing the photos as fake. If you have ever tried to scan a glass negative, you'll be amazed by the quality and resolution.
