Description
Postcard depicting a modern commemorative "runestone" in the Jardin des Plantes, Rouen – a gift from the Kingdom of Norway.
"In 1911 the city of Rouen celebrated the millenium of the founding of the Duchy of Normandy and the baptism of the Viking King Rollo. The runestone in the Jardin des Plantes permanently records the dates of the millennium."
The stone features shields with rains of arrows, an elaborate dragon-prowed Viking ship, and sword-wielding arms. To view the image, visit the Flickr site
