Summary[edit]

Description

The engraving shows three boys playing by a river. The boy to the left is playing with a model ship. The boy in the middle holds a sword. The boy to the right, who seems to be the youngest, is digging with a spade and is next to a model horse.

In the bottom left corner there is the signature of Carl Larsson (1853-1919), the artist. In the bottom right corner there is the signature of Justus Peterson (1860-1889), the xylographer.

The image list on page 468 in the book describes this image as "Magnes (Mannus) tre söner", i.e. the three sons of Magne (Magni) or Mannus.
Date Published in 1893.
Source The image is found on page 50 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. One of my original uploads is an unmodified version of that picture and shows not only the image described but also its context. My other upload is cropped to the engraving itself and has been color-corrected and modified with the 'perspective' tool in 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 (Peterson), securing public domain status in Sweden and much of the rest of the world. My (rather poor and off-centered) photographic reproduction of the page may be ineligible for copyright but in case it is not I place it into the public domain.
