See the Land of the Vikings

This stunning original vintage travel poster from 1925, titled "See the Lands of the Vikings," promotes the Nordic countries—Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland—as travel destinations. Designed by Ben Blessum, the poster depicts a Viking ship at sea against a mystic orange background, along with a map of the Nordic countries and America, indicating the Vikings were the first to reach that continent. This colorful rendering is sure to stand out on any wall.

Benjamin (Ben) Blessum (1877-1954) was an American painter, graphic artist, and illustrator, born in Norway, primarily known for his Norwegian landscapes.

Professionally mounted on linen with a restored lower margin/panel, this 1925 print has been enhanced with the 1937 design of the lower text panel.
