It is a collection of the Norse Prose Edda, or Norse Sagas, as written by Snorre Sturlason<\/a>. The book was printed in Oslo (then, Kristiania) in 1900. My father took one of the small (2cmx2cm) woodcuts in the book and carved the head of a cradle for me when I was a baby. I then took a scan of this same woodcut and had it tattooed on my back 20 years ago or more. Dad also carved one of the other small illustrations onto the face of a set of bellows for a fireplace that he made.
\nThe new scans from Kongesagaer are here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have added here below, images of those carvings, woodcuts and tattoo (keep in mind how small the originals are – about 3cm square).
