Original – John Bauer's illustration for the Swedish annual Among Gnomes and Trolls. Originally designed for use in The Changelings (1913), it shows the princess Bianca Maria between two trolls in a forest; part of the series of illustrations that made Bauer a household name, the pictures shaped perceptions of many fairy tale characters, especially trolls and princesses.

Reason

Fabulous scan of a charming and very well known illustration

• Support. Lovely! This illustration by John Bauer of two trolls with a human child they have raised, this is one of his most famous illustrations! Why isn't this image in the John Bauer article, wonder? Hafspajen (talk) 16:31, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

• _{Holy crap, they removed it.} Hafspajen (talk) 18:10, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

• GA needs just one other editor's opinion. Still, worse things happen at sea, and its not really relevant to this nom. Good work on that article, and thats their choice. Ceoil (talk) 18:13, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

• No, not relevant to the nom, but ... yeah, bad choice, low quality scans and all that. Hafspajen (talk) 18:20, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

• Well, it's back in now. I removed one no-significant pic and moved about some others to make room for it. w.carter-Talk 22:02, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

• Support, well done, looks nice. talk→ WPPilot  00:04, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
• Support – Fanciful and fun. (But what are all those bumps in the background? Sleeping Swedish forest whales?) Sca (talk) 14:13, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

• The bumpy bumpy things it's the way our Swedish forest looks like. Those are rocks covered with moss and this: . Like thick mat, , moss and lingonberry mixed with European blueberry... The bumps in the first picture are rather small, those can be much bigger and cover large areas of the forrest. Rather enchanting, I always thought... Hafspajen (talk) 15:33, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

• Support - Very nice.-Jobas (talk) 19:21, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

• Interesting. Thanx, Hafs. Sca (talk) 17:48, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

• ^{PS: Around here we have bumps in some of our forests, but they're century-plus-old tailings from hydraulic mining. Sca (talk) 14:46, 2 February 2015 (UTC)}
