"Leif Ericsson: The Viking Explorer Who Discovered America" In this captivating line engraving from the late 19th century, we witness Leif Ericsson's historic journey of discovering America. Inspired by a painting by Christian Krohg, the image depicts Leif's adventurous spirit and determination as he sets foot on unknown lands. Fast forward to 1963, where another Leif captures our attention - Leif Rocky (Roschberg). In these intriguing photographs (DDE-90036607, DDE-90036605, DDE-90036604), we catch a glimpse of his enigmatic persona and wonder about the stories behind those piercing eyes. But let us not forget the true legend himself - Leif Ericson. This remarkable artist's portrayal in "A Glimpse of Reality" transports us back to the 20th century when Per Krohg beautifully captured the essence of this explorer who forever changed history with his discoveries. Transporting us even further back in time is a portrait dating back to the roaring 1920s. Here we see an image that brings forth nostalgia for an era gone by while reminding us Rocky's timeless appeal. Delving deeper into history, we encounter "The Saga of Eric The Red, " based on an original Icelandic manuscript known as Hauksb. Partaking in this saga allows us to immerse ourselves in epic tales filled with bravery and adventure - qualities embodied by both Leifs throughout different periods. And finally, let us pay homage to their shared heritage through "Obey. " This powerful word reminds us that despite centuries passing since their existence, their legacy lives on through countless stories told and celebrated today. As we sail alongside them on a Viking ship depicted in Harry Fenn's drawing from c1905, we are reminded that exploration knows no bounds. These captions serve as windows into extraordinary lives lived fearlessly across time.
