EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Death of the First-Born, Exodus, xii, 29" transports us back to biblical times. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from the Book of Exodus. The scene depicts one of the ten plagues that befell Egypt as punishment for refusing to release the Israelites from slavery. The image showcases a haunting and somber atmosphere as darkness engulfs the land. In this particular plague, Death claims all first-born sons in every Egyptian household except those marked with lamb's blood on their doorposts. The anguish and despair etched on each face is palpable; it serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences brought upon by Pharaoh's obstinacy. With meticulous attention to detail and expert craftsmanship, this Victorian-era engraving brings forth both historical accuracy and artistic beauty. Its inclusion in The Picture Scrap Book published by Religious Tract Society around 1880 further emphasizes its significance within religious literature. Through digital restoration techniques, this print has been revived to its original splendor while preserving its authenticity. As we gaze upon this powerful artwork today, we are reminded of humanity's capacity for both suffering and redemption—a testament to our collective journey through faith and adversity.
