Summary

[edit]
Description

The engraving shows the giantesses Fenja and Menja beside the mill Grótti. One giantess is sitting near the center of the frame while the other is standing by the side.

In the bottom right corner there is the signature of Carl Larsson (1853-1919), the artist and a date of [18]86. In the bottom left corner there is the signature of Gunnar Forssell (1859-1903), the xylographer.

The image list on page 468 in the book describes this image as "Fenja och Menja vid kvarnen Grotte".
Date Published in 1893. Original drawing created in 1886.
Source The image is found on page 149 of Fredrik Sander's 1893 edition of the Poetic Edda; Edda Sämund den vises : skaldeverk af fornnordiska myt- och hjältesånger om de götiska eller germaniska folkens gamla gudatro, sagominnen och vandringar / öfversättning från isländskan af Fredrik Sander ; med bilder af nordiska konstnärer. Stockholm, Norstedt. I (Haukur Þorgeirsson) took a picture of that page with a handheld camera. My original upload is an unmodified version of that picture and shows not only the image described but also its context. My second upload is cropped to the engraving itself and has been processed with the GIMP.

(Reusing this file)		 Sander's Edda was published in 1893, placing it in the public domain in the United States. More than 70 years have passed since the deaths of both the original artist (Larsson) and the xylographer (Forssell), securing public domain status in Sweden and much of the rest of the world. My photographic reproduction of the page may be ineligible for copyright but in case it is not I place it into the public domain.
