EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Scandinavian warrior from the Varangian Guard in 1924. The image, taken by Herbert Norris, is part of his book "Costume & Fashion - The Evolution of European Dress Through the Earlier Ages". The guard member, dressed in traditional attire of the 11th and 12th centuries, stands proudly with an axe in hand and shield on his back. The Varangian Guard was a renowned bodyguard unit that served as protectors to Byzantine emperors during this time period. This particular Scandinavian warrior exemplifies their strength and dedication to their profession. His helmet signifies his readiness for battle while his tunic showcases the unique clothing style of that era. Norris' illustration transports us back to a historic moment when Europe was filled with warriors like him. With great attention to detail, he brings alive the concept of warfare and weaponry prevalent during those times. As we gaze upon this monochrome portrait, we can't help but appreciate the craftsmanship behind every element captured by Norris' lens. From the intricate design on his weapon to the determination etched on his face, this image serves as a powerful reminder of our continent's rich history. Thanks to Heritage Images for preserving such remarkable pieces that allow us to delve into our past and admire individuals like this brave Scandinavian warrior from the Varangian Guard.
