The newspaper Gimlungur

Aged front page of the Icelandic-language newspaper Gimlungur. The title appears in large bold Gothic-style font at the top, followed by the subtitle Blad fyrir bændur og verkamenn. The issue is dated Gimli, Manitoba, 10. febrúar 1905, and is formatted in three columns of tightly packed text. Articles include titles such as Til kaupenda og lesenda vorra and Frá Íslandi. The paper is slightly yellowed with time, giving it a vintage appearance.
