History of the Norwegian flag [In Norwegian - NO]

[Dubourdieu]

I would like to humbly make my contribution to the community with this book whose the title is : Flagget, et nasjonalt symbol blir til (The flag, a born national symbol). It deals with the history and the first appearance of the Norwegian flag & ensign. Although the book is fully written in Norwegian so an obstacle to whom doesn't understand it (I've noticed some Scandinavians amongst the community), I highly invite those who are interested in this subject to look at its numerous illustrations. The author obviously speaks a lot about Denmark, Sweden, their pennants and their ensigns (including the unusual ones) without mentioning the beautiful paintings of ships, historical portraits and architecture models that may help you in your modelling projects.

The bibliography is also very interesting and offers a lot of inspiring trails for further researches, yet written in Norwegian.

Here are the informations about the book and a direct link to its pdf (the hardback version is purchasable but I found the pdf which is legally available and provided by Vest-Agder museet, Museum of the West-Agder province).
