EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Norse Battle-Song (engraving)" by John Lawson takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a historical and legendary world. The engraving showcases a powerful scene filled with action and intensity. In this depiction, we witness the might of the Norse warriors as they prepare for battle. The image portrays a flameman wielding his sword amidst an inferno, symbolizing both destruction and intimidation. These fearless warriors aim to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies - half of whom are Saxon kings. The engraving is an illustration from Walter Thornbury's book "Historical and Legendary Ballads and Songs" published in 1876. Through this artwork, we delve into English literature that draws inspiration from Norse mythology and ancient battles. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage shared between Germany and Europe at large. This piece represents not only Germanic history but also European unity within the European Union. As we gaze upon this print, our imagination transports us to Northern Germany where these legends were born. We can almost hear the echoes of battle cries resonating through time while appreciating German culture's influence on art throughout history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this momentous artwork, allowing us to appreciate its significance in preserving our collective past without commercial intentions or use.
