EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Dagon, I, Samuel, v, 3" takes us back to biblical times with its intricate details and powerful symbolism. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a moment from the story of Dagon as described in the Book of Samuel. The image depicts a grand temple dedicated to Dagon, a Philistine deity associated with fertility and agriculture. The imposing structure is adorned with ornate carvings and surrounded by worshippers dressed in elaborate garments. In the center stands a colossal statue of Dagon himself – half-human and half-fish – representing his connection to both land and sea. The artist skillfully captures the awe-inspiring scene as it unfolds before our eyes. The meticulous engravings bring every minute detail to life: from the delicate folds of fabric on each figure's clothing to the expressions of reverence on their faces. This particular engraving was originally featured in The Sunday Scrap Book published by Cassell around 1890. Thanks to digital restoration techniques, we can now appreciate this artwork's pristine condition while still maintaining its historical authenticity. "Dagon, I, Samuel, v, 3" serves as a reminder of humanity's deep-rooted fascination with religious beliefs and ancient civilizations. It invites us to reflect upon our own spiritual connections while marveling at the artistic mastery that has preserved these stories for generations.
