1887 Folk Lore Stupid Troll Trolls
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, entitled "Askeladen Fools the Stupid Troll," is a fascinating glimpse into the rich and intriguing world of Scandinavian folklore as depicted in an 1887 print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The photograph, which showcases a clever and mischievous Askeladden outwitting a naive and gullible troll, offers a window into the ancient stories and traditions that have shaped the cultural identity of Norway and other Nordic countries for centuries. Askeladden, a cunning and resourceful trickster figure, is a popular character in Norwegian folklore, often depicted as a clever and quick-witted young man who uses his intelligence to outsmart his enemies and overcome adversity. In this particular tale, Askeladden encounters a stupid troll, a creature known for its immense strength and brutish nature, but also for its lack of common sense. The print, which captures the moment of triumph as Askeladden successfully fools the troll, is a testament to the enduring power of these stories to entertain and inspire. The intricate details of the illustration, from the textured foliage and rugged terrain to the expressive faces of the characters, bring the story to life and transport us back in time to a world where folktales and mythology held a central place in daily life. As we marvel at the artistry and craftsmanship of this beautiful print, we are reminded of the importance of preserving and sharing the rich cultural heritage of our past, and the enduring power of storytelling to connect us to the people and traditions that have shaped our world.
