Abstract
A few lines of prose come below a large picture on each of these 7½" x 10" pages with wavy die cuts outlining the pages and matching the contours of the cover illustration. The pamphlet is last of a series of 52, listed on the inside of the back cover. In this version, the honest lumberjack is sweating profusely when his axe gets away from him. Dangerous currents keep him from jumping in to retrieve his lost axe. The retrieving "spirit of the waters" is pictured as an old male with a long beard and flowing long hair. After the third "retrieval," we learn that the lumberjack's axe was an old, steel axe. The "colleague" appears on the honest lumberjack's way home and goes immediately to the water, throws his axe in, and begins to shout. When he claims the golden axe, the spirit says "Your axe is at the bottom. If you want it, go get it!" Perhaps the best image is of the spirit plunging back into the water, with only hair, eyes, and hands above the surface.
