| Notes |
The
design features the Norse god Freyr holding Gungnir, Odin's spear, and
a boar from Norse mythology named Gullinbursti (also referred to as
Slíđrugtanni). The boar was created in a furnace as a gift to Freyr and
its name refers to its gold mane which glows in the dark.
Unlike
all other European lithographs so far, Reykjavik had centering issues.
Many lithos were not perfectly centered both vertically and
horizontally, resulting in some having a very small amount of space to
write the numbers at the bottom. The hand-numbering is also not in the
usual position - Although still found generally in the
bottom-right corner, they are significantly closer to the
middle of the lithograph. |
