EDITORS COMMENTS
Difficulties of the Road; An Icelander's Notes on Iceland," is an evocative and captivating photograph from the late 1870s, taken during Henry Walter Bates' travels through Iceland. The image, published in Bates' book "Illustrated Travels," depicts a group of Icelandic horse riders making their way across a rugged and challenging terrain. The scene is set against the backdrop of a barren, volcanic landscape, with the steam rising from geysers in the distance adding a sense of otherworldly beauty to the image. The riders, dressed in heavy woolen clothing, appear determined and focused as they navigate the difficult terrain, their horses picking their way carefully over rocks and through shallow streams. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Icelanders during this period, highlighting the harsh conditions and the resilience of the people who lived there. The title of the photograph, "An Icelander's Notes on Iceland," suggests that the image was taken with the cooperation of the local people, offering a rare insight into their experiences and perspectives. The photograph is a testament to the power of the natural world and the ingenuity and determination of the human spirit. It is a reminder of the challenges and rewards of exploration and the importance of documenting the world around us. This image, taken over a century ago, continues to captivate and inspire us today, offering a window into a time and place that is both foreign and familiar. The photograph is attributed to H.W. Bates, but the creator remains unknown. It was published in "Illustrated Travels" by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London in the late 1800s, and was later reproduced in the book "The Print Collector," edited by Jon A. Hjaltalin. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of travel photography or historical images of Iceland, and is a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world and the human spirit.
