EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, King Haakon VII of Norway stands resolute against the backdrop of the rugged Norwegian landscape. Taken during the Second World War in 1942, the image captures the indomitable spirit of the monarch who refused to abandon his country during the German occupation. Haakon VII, born Karl Johan Marius Schoug in 1872, ascended to the throne of Norway in 1906. A constitutional monarch, he was a symbol of national unity and pride for the Norwegian people. When the Nazis invaded Norway in April 1940, Haakon and his government were forced to flee to the United Kingdom. From exile, he continued to lead his country, rallying the Norwegian resistance and inspiring hope for a free and independent Norway. This photograph, taken during Haakon's wartime exile, shows the king in a simple yet powerful pose. Dressed in a heavy coat and wearing a fur hat, he gazes out at the vast expanse of snow-covered mountains and fjords. The image conveys a sense of determination and resilience, as if to say that no matter the challenges, the Norwegian people and their monarch would endure. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and struggles of the Norwegian people during the Second World War. It also highlights the important role that King Haakon VII played in maintaining the spirit of resistance and hope during a dark time in Norwegian history. Today, the image remains an enduring symbol of Norwegian pride and perseverance.
