EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving depicts Gurm Gamle, the legendary King of Denmark, alongside a Danish youth. The image is part of an illustrious private collection and was created by the English School in the 19th century. It serves as an illustration for "The Costume of the Original Inhabitants of the British Islands" by Samuel Rush Meyrick and Charles Hamilton Smith. In this artwork, we are transported back to the 10th century, where Gurm Gamle stands tall as a leader and ruler. Clad in traditional Danish attire, his regal presence is accentuated by his formidable axe held firmly in hand. The young Dane beside him mirrors his pride and strength. The intricate details captured in this engraving allow us to appreciate not only their clothing but also their weaponry. These defensive armaments speak volumes about their culture and way of life during that time period. As we gaze upon this historical scene, it becomes evident that this print offers more than just a glimpse into Danish history; it provides insight into European heritage as well. Great Britain's influence can be seen through its inclusion within "The Costume of the Original Inhabitants" showcasing how interconnected these nations were even centuries ago. Bridgeman Images has once again preserved a remarkable piece of art that invites us to explore our shared past while celebrating cultural diversity across Europe.
