Figure descriptions
A man, identified in the poem text as a Norse king, stands on a small boat. He holds
a mast and wears a crown on his head. Two
men row his boat and another man stands beside him at the mast. There is a large carving
of a bird decorating the bow. The king
looks out toward a second boat, which raises its flag on the distant sea. The second
boat is filled with men. There are waves in the
water and birds in the sky. 2/3-page illustration contained within a single-ruled
