EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Biblical Frankincense plant, a significant ingredient used to create incense for burning on the golden altar. The image is taken from Cassell's Illustrated Family Bible, a remarkable publication adorned with over nine hundred exquisitely detailed engravings. The Frankincense plant holds immense religious and historical importance, as it was utilized by Moses in crafting a rich and sweet perfume for sacred rituals. This practice is mentioned in Exodus XL, verse 5: "And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle". Dating back to the 19th century, this stunning engraving captures not only botanical beauty but also echoes an era when literary arts were intertwined with religious devotion. It serves as a testament to both Christian faith and artistic craftsmanship. The intricate details showcased in this print transport us back to antiquity, evoking images of ancient traditions and spiritual practices. The delicate lines etched into paper bring forth an appreciation for nature's gifts and their significance within various religions. As we gaze upon this illustration, we are reminded of how literature has long been intertwined with spirituality—how words can come alive through artistry—and how visual representations can deepen our understanding of biblical narratives. Bridgeman Images presents this extraordinary piece from Fine Art Finder—a treasure that allows us to explore history through its intricate engravings while celebrating both religion and artistry.
