Description

On the reverse of the card mount to which this print is affixed, there is a page from a Danish book called 'De Jydske Granitkirkers Alder', which roughly translates as 'The Age Granite Churches in Jutland'. Jutland is in Denmark. On the page there is an illustration of a 'shelf' with a horseshoe carved into it, from a site in Frøslev, Denmark, most likely a piece of church architecture or fitting.
