Description

I was extremely delighted when there was an opportunity to acquire this artwork, to get it next to page 10, presented here
https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=2136699

Naturally, I framed it in the same style like the previous artwork, page 10, having a nice birch pattern there :-)
In the Kalevala, the birch is an important symbol of nature and plays a significant role in folklore and Finnish culture. The birch appears frequently in the poems of the Kalevala, and it has a special place in the lives of Finns.

Especially I love here the trochaic tetrameter, the Kalevala meter. It is impossible to translate.

All the rest about DR Kalevala story is said for example here, so please have a link:https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1494765

It's such a wonderful nod to Finnish folklore by Rosa! I particulalry love the faces of Scrooge and Gyro. There is no panel here that doesn't deserve praise.
