EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a village in Iceland called Havenfiord, as depicted in Sir George Stewart Mac Kenzie's book "Travels in the Island of Iceland during the summer of the year 1810". The image, captured by Leonard de Selva, transports us to a time long past and allows us to glimpse into the beauty and simplicity of Icelandic life. The village is nestled amidst breathtaking natural surroundings, with snow-capped mountains towering majestically in the background. The quaint houses dotting the landscape exude an air of tranquility and charm. It is evident that this remote settlement thrives on its connection with nature, as it embraces both its harshness and its serenity. Intriguingly, there are also Icelandic women present in the scene. They add a touch of mystery and allure to this snapshot from history. Their presence hints at their integral role within this tight-knit community – perhaps they are engaged in daily tasks or simply enjoying each other's company. Through Mackenzie's meticulous observations and de Selva's skilled lens, we are transported back to a time when technology was nonexistent but human resilience prevailed. This print serves as a window into an era where simplicity reigned supreme and nature held sway over everyday life. Leonard de Selva has masterfully captured not only the physical beauty but also the essence of Havenfiord - an Icelandic village frozen forever in time through this remarkable piece of art.
