EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The King of Babylon resorting to Divination by Arrows, Ezekiel XXI, 21" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into an ancient biblical story. The image is part of Cassells Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition and depicts a significant moment from the Book of Ezekiel in the Old Testament. In this scene, we witness the King of Babylon seeking guidance through divination by arrows. With intense focus, he holds an arrow point while preparing to cast it into the air. This act was believed to be a means of communicating with higher powers and gaining insight into future events. The artist skillfully captures both the anticipation and uncertainty surrounding this mystical practice. The intricate details bring life to every element - from the king's regal attire to his determined expression. As viewers, we are transported back in time as witnesses to this sacred ritual. "The King of Babylon resorting to Divination by Arrows" reminds us not only of ancient traditions but also highlights themes present throughout human history - our desire for knowledge about what lies ahead and our search for divine intervention during times of uncertainty. This evocative print serves as a visual reminder that even centuries later, stories from religious texts continue to captivate our imagination and offer insights into humanity's eternal quest for meaning.
