A collection of popular tales from the Norse and North German : with an introductory essay on the origin and diffusion of popular tales
A folklore anthology of Norse and North German fairy tales, collected by Peter Christian Asbjørnsen and translated by George Webbe Dasent, published in London by the Norroena Society in 1907 for general readers of the tales. The four pictures are dark, heavily shadowed plates, and one shows a hooded figure and a scattered group in a rocky cave, while another shows a figure with a raised arm in a dim wooden interior, so a designer might take their moody chiaroscuro and gnarled, cave-like textures as a reference for fantasy or folklore mood.
