EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Lathgertha, 1913" showcases the extraordinary talent of artist Morris Meredith Williams. The print depicts Lathgertha, a semi-legendary Danish Viking shieldmaiden and former wife of Ragnar Lodbrok. This illustration was originally featured in Eleanor Means Hull's renowned book, "The Northmen in Britain" published in 1913. Williams masterfully captures the essence of Lathgertha as a fierce warrior woman from Norse mythology. With her piercing gaze and resolute expression, she exudes strength and determination. Clad in traditional Scandinavian attire, adorned with a shield on her back and wielding a spear with confidence, Lathgertha embodies the spirit of battle. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this portrait while emphasizing the contrast between light and shadow. It transports us back to early 20th-century Denmark when tales of legendary figures like Lathgertha still captivated imaginations. This historical gem is part of the Historica Graphica Collection - an invaluable repository that preserves significant moments from various countries throughout history. As we admire this striking image today, it serves as a reminder not only of our fascination with ancient legends but also pays homage to women who defied societal norms by embracing their warrior spirit.
