The image is at the front. Page 15 notes that it is made from ("gerð eftir") an 1859 picture ("mynd") by Sigurður málari (1833 – 1874). Íslenska alfræðibókin (1990) states that Sigurður's work was a pencil drawing. The obituary of Björn Gunnlaugsson dated March 24, 1876 mentions (on the second page) that the lithography had been made in Copenhagen. The engraver signed his name on Björn Gunnlaugsson's right sleeve as "H. C. Olsen". This is Hans Christian Olsen (1845 – 1909).[1][2]) Deutsch: Maler: Sigurður málari (1833 – 1874) Graveur: Hans Christian Olsen (1845 – 1909) Eingescannt von User:Haukurth aus Andvari, vol. 9, 1883, wo erwähnt wird, die Lithgraphie sei nach einem Bild von Sigurður málari von 1859 erstellt worden. Laut dem Nachruf auf Björn Gunnlaugsson vom March 24, 1876 (signiert "P.M.", wahrscheinlich Páll Melsteð) wurde die Lithographie in Kopenhagen gemacht. Der Künstler signierte in Björn Gunnlaugsson's rechtem Ärmel als "H. C. Olsen". Dies ist Hans Christian Olsen (1845 – 1909).[3][4]
