EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Silver Shekels" transports us back to the 19th century as we delve into the rich history of biblical times. The intricate detail and craftsmanship of this print, created by an English School artist, truly bring these ancient coins to life. Displayed in a private collection, this artwork was originally featured in the book "The Land of the Bible, Its Sacred Heroes and Wonderful Story" published by Ward Lock around 1880. It serves as a visual aid for readers seeking a deeper understanding of biblical lands and their significance. The silver shekels depicted here were minted money used during that era. They symbolize not only currency but also carry historical importance as they were handled by moneychangers mentioned in biblical texts. This illustration offers us a glimpse into how coin makers meticulously crafted these precious pieces. Situated against a backdrop reminiscent of the Middle East, where these coins originated from, this engraving captures our imagination with its attention to detail. It serves as a testament to both the artistic talent behind it and its ability to transport us through time. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how art can serve as a bridge between past and present – allowing us to explore different cultures and eras through visual storytelling.
