The streets of Oslo around 1890 taken by hidden camera

This is absolutely fascinating. From a time where all the other photographies you see is just a group of people standing stiffly staring into the camera. this guy walked the streets of oslo with a camera hidden on him capturing daily street life in its natural state. Something that was new in 1890 were girls promenading the streets, kinda risque and exciting, and also the favourite subject of this photographer. he had a trick to get a smile from the girls and then taking the photography at the right moment. another favourite subject was henrisk ibsen, of whom he took 4 photos if i remember correctly.
