EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Balaam and the Angel" takes us back to biblical times, inviting us to delve into a story of divine intervention. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases their skillful craftsmanship and attention to detail. The scene depicts Balaam, a prophet from the Old Testament, encountering an angel on his journey. The intricate engravings beautifully capture the intensity of this encounter as both figures are depicted with great emotion and expression. The angel's majestic presence is highlighted by its outstretched wings and glowing aura. As we gaze at this artwork, we are reminded of the power of faith and how it can shape our lives. Balaam's story teaches us about obedience and listening to divine guidance even when faced with temptation or personal desires. This print was originally featured in a Bible Picture Book published by SPCK around 1880. Its inclusion in such a publication suggests that it served as an educational tool for teaching biblical stories to young readers during that era. Now preserved within a private collection, this engraving continues to captivate viewers with its timeless depiction of spiritual encounters. It serves as a reminder that art has always played an integral role in narrating stories from religious texts while also inspiring contemplation and reflection among those who engage with it.
