EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Erik the Red Sets Sail for Greenland" takes us back in time to an era of exploration and adventure. The colour litho, created by Stephen Reid after a painting by him, showcases the Norwegian Viking explorer Erik Thorvaldsson, famously known as Erik the Red. In this artwork, we witness Erik the Red embarking on his daring voyage towards Greenland. With determination etched on his face and wind billowing through his fiery red hair, he stands tall at the helm of his ship. The vibrant colours used in this lithograph bring life to the scene, capturing both the excitement and uncertainty that accompanied such expeditions. This image is part of "The Children's Book of Discovery" published around 1920. It serves as a visual representation of Erik's legendary journey and introduces young readers to tales of exploration from history. As children gaze upon this print, they are transported into an age when brave explorers like Erik set sail into uncharted territories with dreams of discovery. Through this artwork, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge and our relentless pursuit to push boundaries. It celebrates not only Erik's courage but also pays homage to all those who have embarked on similar journeys throughout history. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from its private collection so that it can continue inspiring generations with stories of exploration and bravery.
