In October 1994 Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek hosted an exhibition of all the known photographs by Mary Willumsen, arranged by Northern Light Gallery. This was the first time since the 1920s, when Mary's work was originally sold in the kiosks of Copenhagen, that her work was assembled again. The responce of the Danish public was overwhelmingly positive. Attendance figures and press coverage exceeded all expectations. Mary had finally received her long overdue recognition as the talented photographer she was.

danish women seem to possess qualities and characteristics which set them apart from the other women of scandinavia and the rest of the world. northern light gallery arranged an exhibition of images of danish women from different cultural and sociological backgrounds to see if one could find clues in photography as to the nature of these special traits.
The image used in the poster was taken by Hansen, Weller and Schou in 1872 as part of a photo project describing the Danish folk costumes and traditions. The girl shown represented the style of dress of the west-coast island of Manø, but her haunting gaze and timeless beauty captivate our imagination.
