Norwegian National Obelisk at Haugesund, 1872. Engraving of a photograph by Mr. Szacinski, of Christiania. One of two '...monuments lately erected in Norway to commemorate the early history of that nation. One is the Obelisk at Haugesund, near Drammen. which was uncovered on July 18, at the festival held there to celebrate the thousandth year of national unity. The other is the colossal statue of King Harold Haarfager...The statue and the obelisk, which have just been erected with a view simply to gratify the national self-esteem, may therefore be regarded with a more general interest, for the sake of their indirect reference to great events in the history of Europe'. From "Illustrated London News", 1872.
