Aerial view of the Viking attack fleet at the mouth of the Seine. The drawing is in landscape format and has no frame. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
Viking longships come in from the open sea to lay siege to new territories. Some ships have their sails unfurled, while others are under sail. On the decks, warriors stand ready for battle. The coastline looms in the distance.
