This vintage postcard depicts a section of the 1914 Baltic Exhibition in Malmö. The photo highlights the section dedicated to Greenland. This postcard depicts a covered walkway lined with various exhibits including a boat, displays of wildlife, and figures relating to the Greenlandic way of life. The photo is taken from the end of the walkway. In the foreground we can see a glimpse of what appears to be an exhibit about fishing. Behind that is a display that possibly involves fur or animal hides, although this is difficult to tell precisely due to the age and quality of the photograph. In the background, there are representations of traditional Greenlandic clothing and figures. The wooden structure has traditional wooden arches built into its design. The official text at the top of the postcard reads “Official postcard”. The text at the bottom says “Danish Hall, Greenland Exhibition.” The caption at the top reads “Baltic Exhibition Malmö 1914.”
