The Norwegian Fjords

An artist's illustrated travelogue surveys the fjord regions of western Norway, pairing twenty-four colour plates with descriptive chapters on towns, waterways, glaciers, waterfalls and mountain scenery. It records rural life and industries — fruit-growing, boat-building, mining and fisheries — and examines national arts, stave churches, folk customs and seasonal celebrations alongside practical observations on transport and tourism. Geological notes on fjord formation, natural history, outdoor pursuits and vivid sketches of local homesteads and festivals round out a guidebooklike portrait of landscape and culture.
