Illustration til Nordahl Rolfsen, Vor fædres liv (?) 1880 - 1888

This black and white illustration by Waldemar Bøhme, created between 1880 and 1888, depicts a scene of medieval warfare. The artwork is an illustration for Nordahl Rolfsen’s book “Vor fædres liv,” which focuses on Norwegian history. The detailed depiction of the scene, showing a soldier aiming with a bow and arrow at fleeing enemies, is a powerful example of the detailed illustrations that were common in the 19th century. The artwork is currently held in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
