EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from the 1912 publication "Myths from Many Lands" we are transported into a world of Norse mythology and fantasy. The print titled "The Third Gift an Enormous Hammer" showcases the incredible talent of artist Elmer Boyd Smith. At the center of the image, we see a majestic Viking ship sailing through stormy waters, its sails billowing in the wind. On board stands a blacksmith, his muscular frame illuminated by sparks flying from his forge. With great skill and determination, he wields an enormous hammer that seems to possess otherworldly power. Surrounding him are mystical creatures - elves and fantastic beings - who watch with awe as he crafts his masterpiece. Their presence adds an air of enchantment to the scene, hinting at their involvement in bestowing this mighty gift upon our hero. Smith's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving. From the intricate patterns on the ship's hull to each strand of hair on our protagonist's head, no element is overlooked. This children's illustration not only transports us into a mythical realm but also ignites our imagination and curiosity about ancient legends. It serves as a reminder that within these tales lie valuable lessons waiting to be discovered by young minds eager for adventure and knowledge. Ken Welsh has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry for generations to come, allowing us all to marvel at its beauty and delve into its magical narrative once more.
