EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Group of Idols" showcases an exquisite engraving by the English School from the 19th century. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for Cassells Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition, published by Cassell, Petter and Galpin around 1880. In this intriguing artwork, we are transported to the Old Testament era, where a diverse array of idols takes center stage. The composition features various animals and insects that hold symbolic significance within biblical stories. A majestic bull stands tall beside a regal hawk, while a graceful crane gracefully poses nearby. Intriguingly, these creatures share space with other fascinating beings such as beetles and cats. Each idol represents different deities mentioned in ancient texts like the Book of Deuteronomy and Psalms. From Isis to Osiris, Apis to Athor, Tpe to Tiphe - their presence adds depth and intrigue to this visual narrative. This enchanting print not only captures our attention but also invites us into the rich tapestry of old testament stories found within the Hebrew Bible. It serves as a reminder of the diversity present in both nature and religious beliefs during those times. Bridgeman Images has skillfully preserved this masterpiece for generations to come so that we may continue appreciating its beauty and historical significance without any commercial use intentions in mind.
