The Return of the Vikings (colour litho)

8661453 The Return of the Vikings (colour litho) by Valda, John Harris (1874-1942); Private Collection; (add.info.: The Return of the Vikings. A characteristic picture of the return home of a Viking fleet after a minor raid. The comparatively small size of the ships and their crews seem to denote that the expedition was not of a very important nature. The foremost ship is probably nearing the harbour, as the man in the stern is evidently giving directions for shortening sail, while the crew can be seen making ready to land.
