The engraving shows a woman with a helmet, a bow and a quiver. It is Skaði from Norse mythology. In the bottom left corner is written "W. Meyer X.A." meaning that the engraving was created at W. Meyers xylografiska anstalt, an engraving company owned by Wilhelm Meyer (1844-1944). In the lower right corner is written "LBH SC", meaning that the engraver was Ludvig Bernhard Hansen (1856 - 1933). Somewhat above this signature is written SALTZA, meaning that the original artist was Carl Fredrik von Saltza (1858 - 1905) The image list on page 468 in the book describes this image as Skade. |
