EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Death of the Firstborn of Egypt" transports us back to a pivotal moment in biblical history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the intensity and drama of one of the ten plagues that befell ancient Egypt. The scene depicts a haunting tableau as darkness descends upon Egypt, symbolizing impending doom. The firstborn children lie lifeless on their beds while grieving parents mourn their tragic loss. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the consequences faced by Pharaoh for his refusal to release the Israelites from slavery. Taken from Cassells Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition published around 1880, this engraving is part of a larger collection illustrating various stories from both the Old and New Testaments. It showcases not only artistic skill but also highlights significant events that have shaped religious beliefs throughout history. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the enduring power and impact of biblical narratives. The story depicted here resonates with themes such as faith, redemption, and divine intervention. It serves as a visual representation of God's wrath against those who oppose His will. Through its intricate details and emotive composition, this engraving invites us to reflect on our own mortality and consider how our actions can have far-reaching consequences. It stands as a testament to humanity's eternal quest for meaning and understanding within religious texts like Psalms or Exodus found in both Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and New Testament - books that continue
