A digital photograph of popular Viking items in a display case at the State Library of Western Australia. The display advertises a book signing session by Norman Jorgensen for his 2011 children’s book The Last Viking, illustrated by James Foley. The case includes a full size (unhistorical) horned helmet and leather belt featuring a ship on its silver buckle, as well as a statuette of a Viking warrior. The book is displayed behind the helmet. Other entries on The Last Viking can be found on this website.
