EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ezra Reading the Law to the Jews, 1890" takes us back to ancient Jerusalem in the 5th century BC. The image showcases Ezra, a scribe and High Priest, standing on a raised platform known as a dais. With utmost reverence, he reads aloud the sacred Law of God to a crowd of Jewish people who have returned to their beloved city. The scene is set against the backdrop of Jerusalem's towering city walls, symbolizing both protection and historical significance. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as men gather around Ezra, eager to absorb every word that resonates from his lips. This powerful illustration captures an important moment in Jewish history when religious literature played an integral role in shaping their faith. The unknown creator skillfully engraves this historic event onto paper, immortalizing it for generations to come. Through monochrome tones and intricate details, we are transported back in time where religion held immense influence over society. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Cassells Illustrated Universal History by Edmund Ollier (1890), we cannot help but feel connected to our ancient roots. It serves as a reminder of how literature has shaped civilizations throughout history and continues to be cherished today.
