EDITORS COMMENTS
The True Fast, giving Bread to the Hungry, Isaiah LVIII (engraving) captures a poignant biblical scene that resonates with compassion and social justice. This 19th-century engraving by an English School artist depicts a powerful moment from the Book of Isaiah in the Old Testament. In this evocative image, we witness an act of true devotion as a group of individuals selflessly distribute bread to those in need. The engraving is part of Cassells Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition, published around 1880, which aimed to bring these timeless stories to life through art. The symbolism behind this scene is profound. It represents the essence of empathy and kindness towards others, emphasizing the importance of helping those who hunger for both physical sustenance and spiritual nourishment. As viewers engage with this print, they are reminded not only of their duty to alleviate suffering but also to seek righteousness and practice genuine piety. The intricate details captured by Bridgeman Images showcase the expressions on each character's face – some filled with gratitude while others reveal desperation or hopelessness. The loaves of white bread serve as a universal symbol for sustenance and abundance. This artwork serves as a visual reminder that acts of charity transcend time and culture; they remain relevant today just as much as when Isaiah first spoke his words centuries ago.
