Summary edit

Description
English: Anna Kirstin Thomsen from Tvøroyri in the Faroe Islands is holding an old emergency lamp, which was used by boat in the Faroe Islands in the old days. The photo is taken inside the Old Shop in Tvoroyri, which used to be a Monopoly Store until 1856, when a new law opened up for other shops and ended the Monopoly. Anna Kirstin's great great grandfather bought the buildings in Tvøroyri which belonged to the Royal Danish Monopoly and the buildings are still in the same family. Anna Kirstin runs today the Pub and Café, which is also a museum and the Sail Loft, which is a Cultural Centre.
Dansk: Anna Kirstin Thomsen holder her et gammelt nødblus, som brugte petroleum. Både fra Suðuroy og andre steder brugte disse i gamle dage, hvis de kom i nød. Anna Kirstin er femte generations efterkommer af Thomas Frederik Thomsen fra København, som flyttede til Færøerne og købte ejendommene i Tvøroyri, som det Kongelige Danske Monopol ejede indtil 1856, da en ny lov ophævede retten til monopol handel på Færøerne. Handelen i Tvøroyri blev bygget i 1836, som den første af en række "úthandlar" forretninger ude i bygderne, før det var der kun en forretning på Færøerne og den var i Tórshavn.
Føroyskt: Anna Kirstin Thomsen av Tvøroyri heldur einum gomlum neyðblussi, sum bátar og skip brúktu fyrr í tíðini, um tey komu í neyð. Anna Kirstin er stjóri á fyritøkuni p/f Seglloftið, hon var stigtakari til at fáa umvælt bygningarnar á Havnalagnum á Tvøroyri, soleiðis at hesir kundu brúkast til mentanartiltøk vm. Henda myndin er tikin inni á Pubbini, sum eisini er eitt savn. Har eru nógv skjøl og ting frá 19. øld og byrjanini av 20. øld.
