EDITORS COMMENTS
They flung him into a pit, illustration from Through the Bible captures a powerful moment of biblical drama. In this vividly colored lithograph by Charles Edmund Brock, we witness the heart-wrenching scene from the Old Testament story of Joseph and his jealous brothers. The image transports us to a barren desert landscape where Joseph's siblings, consumed by envy and hatred, have thrown him into a deep well. Dressed in an exquisite multi-colored coat that symbolizes their father's favoritism towards him, Joseph stands alone and vulnerable amidst his shepherd brothers. This poignant illustration beautifully depicts the themes of sibling rivalry and betrayal found in this timeless religious tale. The artist skillfully portrays the anguish on Joseph's face as he looks up at his brothers who callously abandon him to his fate. Through its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this children's illustration not only brings the story to life but also serves as a visual reminder of Christian teachings about forgiveness, resilience, and faith. It invites viewers to reflect on how jealousy can lead to destructive actions while emphasizing the importance of compassion and reconciliation. As we contemplate this artwork from Virtue Publishing's 1928 edition of Through the Bible, it reminds us that even in moments of darkness and despair, there is always hope for redemption.
