Captured by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases Mr Gladstone's visit to Norway as depicted in The Illustrated London News on September 12,1885. The scene unfolds against a picturesque backdrop of majestic ships sailing through Norwegian waters and an ancient stone church nestled amidst breathtaking landscapes. We witness Mr Gladstone presenting a bowl to local farmers while surrounded by politicians and maritime enthusiasts aboard the elegant yacht Sunbeam. This gesture symbolizes his appreciation for Norwegian culture and their hardworking community. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to scenes depicting horse-drawn carriages traversing rugged terrains and locals enjoying Bavarian beer. These elements highlight both the beauty of Norwegian architecture and its people's love for traditional customs.
