Raid by Vikings (litho)
8661333 Raid by Vikings (litho) by Randall, Maurice (1865-1950); Private Collection; (add.info.: Raid by Vikings. The Vikings were bands of Norse sea-kings and flourished in the eighth, ninth and tenth centuries. They established a reputation for themselves as freebooters, pirates and marauders. Many countries suffered at the hands of these sea-robbers, who would set sail in their celebrated ships for some coast where they would suddenly land and ravage the countryside, carrying off every description of plunder, and more often than not young maidens as wives for themselves.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the chaos and brutality of a Viking raid, depicting the Norse sea-kings in all their fierce glory. The Vikings, known for their reputation as freebooters and pirates, were feared throughout Europe during the eighth to tenth centuries. With their celebrated ships, they would suddenly land on unsuspecting coasts, ravaging the countryside and plundering everything in sight.
In this scene from Hutchinson's History of the Nations, artist Maurice Randall brings to life the terror of a Viking raid with meticulous detail. The image shows the Vikings in action, pillaging and despoiling as they carry off young maidens as wives for themselves. The coastline is depicted with stark realism, emphasizing the harshness of these marauders' actions.
The black-and-white contrast adds to the dramatic intensity of the scene, highlighting every aspect of this violent event. This print serves as a powerful reminder of a dark chapter in history when raiding parties swept across lands with impunity.
As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the devastation wrought by these ruthless invaders. It is a chilling reminder of humanity's capacity for violence and conquest that continues to resonate through generations.
