Lubeck, Germany once the former "Queen of the Hanseatic League", is now a modern city enclosed by historic walls. Located on the Trave & Wakenitz rivers, near the Baltic Sea; was seat of Slavic principality; founded by the Count of Holstein in the 12th century; destroyed by fire, but rebuilt by Henry the Lion in 1159.
The Vikings, a third German influence on Medieval Europe, instrumental in trading and populating villages throughout Europe, Sweden and Denmark. They perfected ship building technology and produced a light, swift sailing ship that could also use oars to good effect. This, the Viking long ship, was originally intended for trade. The Vikings were, basically, traders. But they were also fierce warriors and soon noted that many of the places they came upon in Europe were wealthy, and undefended.
The back print features the ancient wooden plank-built Viking ship with a beautiful dragon head on the bow, filled with fierce Viking Warriors sailing the Baltic seas.
