EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration that takes us back in time to witness an extraordinary encounter between two powerful figures. This early 1900s print, created by Edward John Poynter and now part of a private collection, beautifully captures the grandeur and opulence of this biblical event. The scene unfolds within the magnificent interior of King Solomon's palace, adorned with towering pillars and exquisite columns. As we gaze upon this majestic setting, we are drawn towards the regal figure of the Queen of Sheba herself. Dressed in richly embroidered garments, she gracefully ascends the steps leading to King Solomon's throne. Surrounding them are attendants and courtiers, their presence adding an air of exoticism to this momentous occasion. Peacocks roam freely amidst the bustling crowd as servants scurry about attending to their duties. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as everyone eagerly awaits what promises to be a significant meeting between these two great leaders. In this image, Poynter skillfully captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a sense of reverence through subtle gestures and expressions. The queen's outstretched hand signifies her respect for Solomon's authority while he receives her with open arms - a gesture symbolizing his hospitality and wisdom. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation, allowing us to immerse ourselves in one of history's most intriguing encounters. It reminds us that even across cultures and borders
