William Gershom Collingwood was fascinated by the Íslendinga sagas at a young age, and in 1897 he made a kind of pilgrimage to the paths of the Íslendinga sagas. Collingwood had been interested in painting from a young age and during the trip to Iceland he painted over three hundred watercolors. He also took many photographs and wrote many letters to his family, in which he describes the country and the people in a realistic and warm way. Collingwood then wrote a book about his trip to Iceland. He called the book A pilgrimage to the saga-steads of Iceland, but that book has never been published in Icelandic, however, this book, which has been named Fegurð Íslands og fornir sögustaðir, is the result of the trip in words and pictures. The book has about 160 watercolors.
