Kapp Hjertestein
Kapp Hjertestein
In 1921 Roald Amundsen brought two small girls from East Siberia to Norway. The two learned to speak Norwegian, went to Norwegian school and got Norwegian friends. They were the closest Roald Amundsen ever came to a family of his own. But in December 1924 he suddenly sent the girls away. Basically this is a textbook, but the author, Espen Ytreberg, had also found a number of photos documenting the story. The photos have no captions, but follow the text closely, which made the design challenging. To solve this, all images were consistently placed at the bottom of the page. This allowed the following paragraph to be moved to the next page without appearing out of place.
