The Fjord of Reykjavik - An Icelandic Note on Iceland,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph from the late 1800s, showcasing the picturesque harbor of Reykjavik, Iceland. The image, taken from "Illustrated Travels" by Henry Walter Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when sailing ships were the primary means of transportation in this remote and ruggedly beautiful European country. The photograph captures the serene beauty of the fjord, with its calm, glassy waters reflecting the surrounding mountains and the quaint, colorful houses of Reykjavik nestled along the shoreline. In the foreground, a sailing ship is anchored, its sails furled, adding a sense of scale and activity to the scene. The image is believed to have been taken by an unknown photographer, but the meticulous detail and composition suggest the hand of a skilled artist. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and culture of Iceland, a country that has long been a source of fascination for travelers and adventurers. The title "An Icelandic Note on Iceland" suggests that the photograph was intended to offer a glimpse into the daily life and experiences of the Icelandic people, making it a valuable historical document as well as a stunning work of art. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records and the role that they play in shaping our understanding of the past. Today, "The Fjord of Reykjavik: An Icelandic Note on Iceland" remains a beloved and enduring image, inspiring awe and wonder in all who behold its timeless beauty.
