Poster with the motif of a track guard at the national border in 1955. The work as a track guard was a profession characterized by great responsibility. Every morning, the track guards set out along the cold railway tracks, even before the sun had risen. During the winter months, they faced challenges such as blizzards, which could leave large blocks of snow in their tracks. The rangers worked around the clock to keep the railway open and safe for traffic, sometimes alone in the remote terrain.
Photography Railway guard, Riksgränsen 1955 shows one of those days with heavy snowfall and low temperature. You can see how the track guard is covered in snow and how the storm makes it difficult to see the remaining parts of the railway.

We deliver worldwide and always offer free shipping! Depending on which country you are shipping to, the delivery may mean that certain customs fees and taxes are added - there is no duty or tax on deliveries within, for example, the EU, USA or Norway.
The delivery time is normally 1-3 working days within the Nordic region, 2-5 to the rest of Europe and 3-8 working days in other parts of the world. As for canvas paintings, we make them by hand in our factory in Sweden.
The canvas needs to dry before we stretch them on a wooden frame and send them to you. The delivery time for a canvas painting is therefore approximately 7 working days within the Nordic countries, slightly longer to other countries.
If you order from Norway, your order will be delivered with Fedex, to Sweden and other parts of the world with DHL. Your package is normally delivered to your nearest agent!
