Antique etching by renowned Danish artist Søren Lund.
The etching has a motive of a man with a church bell on a horse carriage and a church in the background.
The piece has a qoute saying:
I Hundrede Aar den Klokke ringed
ud over Horne Sogn -
Da kom jo Bispen fra Kjøbenhavn.
Han tinged, fik Klokken paa Vogn.
Med Firespand naaed de Byens Skel;
da hjalp ej de mægtigste Drag.
Men Klokken kørtes tilbage igen
af to Smaaheste i Mag.
(For a hundred years the bell had rung
out over Horne Parish –
Then the bishop came from Copenhagen.
He bargained and got the bell on a wagon.
With four horses they reached the town’s border;
then even the strongest pull did not help.
But the bell was driven back again
by two small horses, with ease.)
Søren Jørgensen Lund (1852-1933) was a Danish artist affiliated with “Fynbomalerne” amongst Johannes Larsen, Peter Hansen, Fritz Syberg and Anna Syberg...
