EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print captures a poignant moment from the Old Testament stories, as Benjamin bids farewell to his father before embarking on a journey into Egypt. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this biblical scene to life, showcasing the love and bond between parent and child. Set in North Africa's ancient land of Egypt, young Benjamin stands alongside his father Jacob, their embrace filled with both affection and apprehension. This heartwarming illustration is taken from Bubbles, edited by Dr Barnardo in 1902, which aimed to inspire children through engaging storytelling. The image beautifully depicts the emotional departure of Benjamin as he leaves behind his family to face an uncertain future. It symbolizes not only the challenges faced by individuals but also explores themes of faith, loyalty, and sacrifice found within the pages of the Hebrew Bible. As we gaze upon this early twentieth-century lithograph, we are reminded of the enduring power of love and familial connections that transcend time. It serves as a reminder that these Old Testament stories continue to resonate with audiences today across different religious backgrounds. With its rich symbolism and evocative imagery, this artwork invites us to reflect on our own relationships while immersing ourselves in the timeless narratives found within both the Old Testament and broader Christian tradition.
