Fotoreproductie van een tekening van Frithjof die het schild van Helg doormidden heeft gekliefd c. 1872 - 1882

This is a photoreproduction of an anonymous drawing depicting a scene from Norse mythology, likely based on the _Völsunga saga_. The illustration shows a warrior, Frithjof, cleaving the shield of the legendary hero Helg in two. The drawing, created between 1872 and 1882, is executed in a realistic style, with detailed figures and a dramatic composition. The focus is on the action of the warrior as he wields his sword, highlighting the power and skill involved in the act. The inclusion of text in the original book suggests this illustration was created for a narrative context, providing visual support to a story.
