EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mystical legend of Wayland the Smith, set against the backdrop of a cromlech in Ashbury. Known as Wayland Smith's Cave, this historical site is steeped in myth and mystery, where travellers could supposedly have their horses magically re-shod by the legendary smith himself.
According to folklore, Wayland learned his craft from the dwarfs of Iceland, adding an element of enchantment to his already impressive skills. The image evokes a sense of ancient craftsmanship and otherworldly power, as Wayland works his magic within the stone walls of his smithy.
The setting in Berkshire, England adds to the rich history and lore surrounding this mythical figure. As one gazes upon this scene, they can almost feel the presence of Wayland and hear the clang of metal on metal as he hammers away at horseshoes with expert precision.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured this moment in time, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in a world where legends come to life. This print serves as a reminder of our connection to history and mythology, inviting us to explore tales passed down through generations with wonder and awe.
