An old representation which I think might have been used for propaganda purposes.
One familiar to many of us from the “warriors and weapons “ book.
Two pictures from a Danish book of the 1950s. The girl showing an ancient costume is so fifties looking that it made me smile.
A relatively modern imagining of the period above and finally below a depiction of the period from a cartoon history of Denmark-
Different images of a fascinating society possibly saying as much about when they were made as they do about ancient times.
Interesting collection of pictures , some of which I haven't seen before .
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed them.
DeletePic 3 is rather fetching. Have a look at Wiltshire museum Devizes website. They have some stunning finds which may be on virtual display.
ReplyDeleteFetching indeed but so of the times when viewed as a reconstructed Bronze Age person. The other fifties folk have a nice ragged feel to their portrayal.
DeleteWould it be wrong of me to say that 3rd picture brought a smile to my face too?
ReplyDeleteWouldn’t be wrong, brought a smile to mine too.
