EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating black and white lithograph captures a poignant moment from the Icelandic saga Njals Saga, transporting us back to the year 1913. The illustration depicts a scene of destruction and tragedy as Bergthorsknoll, the home of Njall, is engulfed in flames. In this heart-wrenching image, we witness Flosi desperately calling out to Bergthora, urging her to escape the burning house. Amidst the chaos and devastation, Flosi valiantly allows the women to flee for their lives. However, Bergthora stands resolute in her decision not to abandon her beloved home. Dressed in traditional attire that reflects her strong connection to Norse mythology and Viking heritage, she remains steadfast even in the face of imminent danger. The artist's skillful use of monochrome enhances the dramatic impact of this historic event. Every detail is meticulously captured - from Flosi's horned helmet symbolizing his bravery as a warrior to the architectural details of Bergthorsknoll itself. This lithograph serves as a powerful reminder of human resilience and sacrifice during times of adversity. It immortalizes an important chapter in Icelandic history while also paying homage to Eleanor Means Hull's work on "The Northmen in Britain". As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back through time and invited into a world where myth intertwines with reality – forever etching itself into our collective memory.
