Taken from Deuteronomy XXVI:2, this image depicts the sacred act of offering the first fruits of the earth to God. Intricately engraved and meticulously detailed, this 19th-century print showcases the significance of this religious ritual. The verse instructs believers to gather the initial harvest from their land and place it in a basket before presenting it at a designated location chosen by God.

Produced by Cassell, Petter & Galpin in London, Paris, and New York during the 19th century, it stands as a testament to both artistic skill and devotion.
