EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Akershus Fortress, located in Christiania (now Oslo), Norway during the late 19th to early 20th century. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, adding a sense of mystery and intrigue to its historical significance. Akershus Fortress, with its medieval architecture and commanding presence on Oslofjord, served as both a royal residence and military stronghold. This fortress played an integral role in shaping the history of Norway for centuries. The city itself was known as Christiania (or Kristiania) from 1624 until 1924 when it reclaimed its original name, Oslo. This transition marked an important milestone in the country's identity.

Though their identities may be lost to history, their impact is forever etched within these ancient stones. This print serves as a testament to our collective heritage and invites us to explore further into Norway's rich past. It stands as a reminder that even amidst changing times and shifting landscapes, there are timeless treasures waiting to be discovered and cherished for generations to come.
