Travelling in Iceland - An Icelanders Notes on Iceland,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an intriguing photograph from the late 1870s, captures a moment of warmth and hospitality in the seemingly harsh and untamed landscape of Iceland. The image, published in H.W. Bates' "Illustrated Travels" by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin, depicts an Icelandic man, Jon A. Hjaltalin, extending a friendly salutation to a group of travelers on horseback. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the lives of Icelanders during the 19th century, showcasing their resilience and welcoming nature despite the challenging conditions. The scene is set against a picturesque backdrop of a quaint village nestled amidst rolling hills and rugged terrain. The travelers, likely British, are shown in their traditional riding attire, adding to the sense of adventure and exploration. The photograph's title, "An Icelanders Notes on Iceland," suggests that it may have been taken specifically for Bates' travelogue, which aimed to provide an accurate and detailed account of the people and places he encountered during his travels. The image offers a rare insight into the daily lives of Icelanders, highlighting the importance of community and the simple pleasures of rural life. Despite the photograph's age, it remains a captivating reminder of the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of Iceland, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical travel images. The warm greeting between the Icelandic man and the travelers serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of hospitality that continues to define Icelandic culture to this day.
