EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Achan Hiding the Treasure" takes us back to the 19th century with its intricate details and storytelling prowess. Created by an English School artist, this print is a part of a private collection, showcasing its historical significance. The scene depicted in this illustration is from the Bible story of Achan, found in the book of Joshua. The artist brilliantly captures the tension as Achan hides his ill-gotten treasure amidst rocks and foliage. The engraver's skillful hand brings out every nuance of emotion on Achan's face as he anxiously conceals his secret. Originally published as an illustration for "Light for Little Footsteps: Bible Stories Illustrated" by S. W. Partridge around 1895, this artwork has stood the test of time to become a treasured piece today. Its inclusion in this publication speaks volumes about its ability to captivate young minds through visual storytelling. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from the early 19th century, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and biblical narrative. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time to witness one man's desperate attempt at secrecy amid divine judgment. This engraving serves as a testament to the power of art in conveying stories that have shaped our cultural heritage for centuries. It reminds us that even within black and white lines lies a world full of emotions and lessons waiting to be discovered.
