EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases King Haakon VII of Norway in 1910, captured by the talented Joseph Simpson. Born as Prince Carl of Denmark, he assumed the throne after the dissolution of the union between Norway and Sweden in 1905. The portrait exudes regality and strength, depicting a man who carries the weight of his nation on his shoulders. King Haakon's face is adorned with a well-groomed moustache that adds to his dignified appearance. His piercing gaze reflects both wisdom and determination, embodying the qualities expected from a monarch. The colorization brings life to this historic image, allowing us to appreciate every detail - from his royal attire to the subtle nuances in his expression. Simpson's expertise shines through in this photograph; it captures not only King Haakon's physical features but also hints at his character and leadership qualities. Through careful composition and lighting, Simpson has immortalized an important figure in Norwegian history. As we delve into this image, we are transported back to a time when kingdoms were ruled by individuals like King Haakon VII – sovereigns who held immense responsibility for their countrymen. This portrait serves as a testament to their power and influence over their people. Joseph Simpson's work continues to be cherished today for its ability to capture historical moments with such depth and artistry. This print stands as a reminder of King Haakon VII's legacy as one of Norway's most influential leaders during a pivotal era.
