In our earlier issue commemorating 120 years since the founding
of Heimskringla, we included a number of past news items from the
newspaper’s history. Space was limited, and due to popular demand
we now present a few more vignettes of Icelandic North American
history through the pages of Heimskringla
Looking back through the pages of Heimskringla
Headlines of history
For many decades, it was a rare thing for a newspa-per to print in any colour
other than black. Occasionally
Heimskringla used colour for
special issues. Above left is an
issue dated 22 December 1944,
with the phrase “Most glorious
wish of men and so beautiful to
all: MERRY CHRISTMAS!”
in bold red type.
Icelandic celebrations were
also given special emphasis,
especially Íslendingadagurinn,
the Icelandic Festival of Mani-
toba. At the top of the page of
the edition shown at right, dat-
ed 28 July 1948, “Heimskringla
wishes Icelanders luck on Au-
gust 2 in Gimli.” Recent June
17 celebrations, comemmorat-
ing Iceland’s recent indepen-
dence, are also covered.
