Henry Justice Ford (1860–1941) was a British artist and illustrator best known for his work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He gained widespread recognition for his intricate and imaginative illustrations in Andrew Lang's "Fairy Books" series, which included "The Blue Fairy Book" (1889) and several others. Ford's work is characterized by its detailed line work, vibrant colors, and the ability to bring fantastical scenes to life. Beyond fairy tales, he also illustrated historical and adventure books. Ford's contributions to the field of illustration left a lasting impact on children's literature and the visual representation of fantasy worlds.

I fully agree that presenting the Vikings as some sort of evil, uniquely violent barbarians who only wanted to commit destruction is very much innacurate but it is pretty hilarious to me how many modern historians are like "the christians only presented the vikings as a bunch of looting murderers because they kept looting and killing them, so irrational 🙄😤"

I was still using the term "Anglo-Saxon" in an academic sense, because I falsely believed it was a legitimate academic term.

It's not. It's just a racist term. Here's an excellent article about it.
