All day

”I choose Bjørnson”, Jakob Weidemann answered in 1970 when the publisher Gyldendal Norske Forlag challenged him to make illustrations from Norwegian literature.
The shape of a pearl
Weidemann's illustrations got ther shape of the pearl, inspired by the poem starting with "Take these pearls! – and be grateful for them!" written by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson.
