EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of H. M. King Haakon of Norway during the tumultuous year of 1942, amidst the chaos of World War II. The creator remains unknown, but their talent for capturing a moment in time is undeniable. King Haakon VII, with his distinguished moustache and commanding gaze, stands as a symbol of resilience and strength for his countrymen. As Norway faced occupation by Nazi Germany, this portrait serves as a powerful reminder of the unwavering spirit that guided its people through dark times. The image is taken from "Calling All Nations", an influential booklet penned by Thomas Owen Beachcroft and published by The British Broadcasting Corporation in collaboration with Sun Engraving Co. Ltd. , London and Watford. This publication aimed to unite nations through radio broadcasting during wartime. In this photograph, King Haakon's face fills the frame as he holds a microphone - an emblematic representation of his role as both monarch and communicator to his people. His majestic stature exudes authority while also conveying compassion towards those affected by war. As we reflect on this historical moment frozen in time, it serves as a testament to the power of literature, media industry collaborations, and public figures like King Haakon who used their influence to rally nations together during one of humanity's darkest chapters.
