| Keywords: Johannes Gehrts - Thor, der Donnergott.jpg Artwork en Thor der Donnergott Frontispiece by Johannes Gehrts to Götter und Helden der alten Germanen Der Edda nacherzählt by Frieda Amerlan 1841-1924 for the record Restoration was pretty quick and easy; I don't intend to claim any copyright Colour was adjusted against the original book and the main editing involved dealing with some dust spots and the occasional bit near the spine where the paper didn't lay 100 flat The yellow colour is most likely in imitation of German chiaroscuro woodcuts of the 16th and 17th centuries albeit noone would mistake the woodblock engraving atop it for anything earlier than the 19th century The book does not list a date in it but the signature on the image is dated 1890 Worldcat gives dates of 1900 and 1912 and given this is a rather high-quality edition I'm going to presume it would have predated WWI and the economic collapse that followed A variant redrawn by Eduard Ade is available at File Thor_by_Johannes_Gehrts jpg and was published in 1901 so I suspect this tends towards the earlier side of the range 1890 Götter und Helden der alten Germanen 1900 File Johannes Gehrts - Thor der Donnergott jpg JPEG of restoration for most uses on Wikipedia due to a bug that makes PNGs unusable on Wikipedia File Johannes Gehrts - Thor der Donnergott png PNG for all serious work such as printing or further editing File Johannes Gehrts - Thor der Donnergott original scan jpg Original scan to document history of the file PD-old-auto-1923 1921 Uploaded with UploadWizard Thor Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr Johannes Gehrts Adam Cuerden's restorations Images with intentional borders Götter und Helden der alten Germanen | ||||
