This hand-colored woodcut print showcases a historic moment from biblical times. In the image, King Hiram of Tyre is depicted leading a group of men through a lush forest, their purpose being to assist the Israelites in cutting cedars for the construction of Solomon's temple. The vintage illustration beautifully captures the essence of peace and friendship between nations. The scene exudes tranquility as King Hiram, an African Phoenician diplomat, extends his support to the Jewish people in Palestine. This act symbolizes not only diplomatic relations but also highlights the significance of unity and cooperation across cultures. The towering cedar trees stand as majestic witnesses to this peaceful collaboration between Tyre and Israel. As skilled lumberjacks work diligently under King Hiram's guidance, they demonstrate their commitment towards building a sacred place that will forever be etched in history. This artwork transports us back to ancient times when diplomacy played a crucial role in shaping societies. It serves as a reminder that even amidst political tensions or religious differences, bridges can be built through mutual respect and shared goals. With its rich historical context and artistic charm, this hand-colored woodcut invites us to delve into the old testament narrative while appreciating the beauty of art itself.
