EDITORS COMMENTS
The Pearl of Great Price, c1916, (1936) by Eugene Burnand captures the essence of the Parable of the Pearl from Matthew 13:45-46. In this thought-provoking illustration, we see a bearded man seated at a table in an interior setting, engrossed in examining and explaining a book to another gentleman. The monochrome black and white composition adds depth and timelessness to the artwork. The attention to detail is remarkable as every line drawn with pencil brings life to each character and object within the frame. Eugene Burnand's portrayal beautifully conveys the significance of the Kingdom of Heaven through this biblical parable. The merchant depicted represents all seekers who tirelessly search for something precious in their lives. The pearl symbolizes that ultimate treasure found only within God's kingdom. As we observe these two men engaged in deep study and discussion, we are reminded of our own quest for spiritual enlightenment. Their expressions reflect both curiosity and reverence towards divine wisdom. This print from 'Bibbys Annual 1936' serves as a timeless reminder that true value lies not in material possessions but rather in embracing faith and seeking eternal truths. It invites us to ponder upon our own journey towards discovering what truly matters.
