Hospitality in Iceland - An Icelanders Notes on Iceland,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an intriguing photograph from the late 19th century, captures a heartwarming moment of Icelandic hospitality. The image, published in "Illustrated Travels" by Henry Walter Bates in the 1880s, depicts a woman in traditional Icelandic attire extending a warm greeting to a traveler on horseback. The traveler, also on horseback, is shown stopping in front of her, likely seeking refuge or rest during his journey. The scene takes place in the rural countryside of Iceland, with mountains and rolling hills serving as the picturesque backdrop. The woman, dressed in a colorful woolen shawl and skirt, wears a serious yet welcoming expression as she reaches out her hand in a gesture of friendship and hospitality. The traveler, a man, is shown in a more casual attire, with a backpack and a hat, indicating his status as an explorer or adventurer. The photograph, taken from "Illustrated Travels" by Henry Walter Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of Iceland during the 19th century. The image, titled "Hospitality in Iceland: An Icelanders Notes on Iceland," highlights the warmth and generosity of the Icelandic people, even towards strangers and travelers. The photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of hospitality and the importance of community in Icelandic society. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, has been preserved in the archives of The Print Collector, a leading provider of historical images and prints. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical travel literature or Icelandic culture, and serves as a reminder of the importance of hospitality and the connections that can be made between travelers and locals, no matter where they may be in the world.
