Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the remarkable talent of the engraver. The image portrays Gideon, a judge in ancient Israel, as he makes a profound sacrifice for his faith. The illustration is part of The Christians Complete Family Bible adorned with fifty-five superb embellishments published by John Fowler in 1809. Intriguingly detailed and thought-provoking, this artwork captures the essence of self-sacrifice and devotion to one's beliefs. Gideon's unwavering commitment to God is beautifully conveyed through his actions depicted here. The composition exudes a sense of solemnity and reverence as Gideon offers up his sacrifice. The artist skillfully uses light and shadow to create depth and drama within the scene. Every line etched into the print adds texture and emotion to this timeless moment.

Its inclusion in private collections further emphasizes its significance among art enthusiasts.
