EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer, Proverbs XX, 14" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into biblical wisdom. Created by an English School artist and now part of a private collection, this print showcases an illustration for Cassells Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition. The scene depicted in this artwork originates from the Book of Proverbs in the Old Testament. The phrase "It is naught, it is naught" comes from Proverbs 20:14 and serves as a cautionary tale about dishonesty in business transactions. The image encapsulates the essence of this proverbial story with its intricate details and emotive characters. As we delve deeper into the composition, we witness a buyer dismissing the value or quality of an item while negotiating with a seller. This interaction highlights themes such as greed, deception, and moral dilemmas that have resonated throughout history. The artist's skillful rendering transports us to ancient times when these wise sayings were passed down through generations. Through their artistry and attention to detail, they bring life to these timeless stories from both the Hebrew Bible and New Testament. This remarkable piece not only invites contemplation on biblical teachings but also serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with religious narratives across different cultures and eras.
