EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Altar of Incense, a significant biblical symbol depicted in Leviticus XVI. The image showcases the intricate details of this sacred altar, beautifully illustrated in Cassell's Illustrated Family Bible from the 19th century. The Altar of Incense holds great religious importance as it was used by high priests to offer incense before the Lord. According to Leviticus XVI: "And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon testimony. That he die not". This act was believed to create a cloud of smoke that would envelop and protect the mercy seat. The engraving featured in this print is one among over nine hundred highly finished engravings found within Cassell's Illustrated Family Bible. Published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin in London, Paris, and New York during the 19th century, this bible became renowned for its exquisite illustrations. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back to ancient times when religious rituals held immense significance. The presence of a high priest adds an air of solemnity and reverence to this scene. It reminds us of how faith played a central role in people's lives during those times. Through its detailed depiction and historical context, this print offers us a glimpse into antiquity while also serving as a reminder of our rich religious heritage. Whether you are drawn to biblical symbolism or simply appreciate fine artistry and history intertwined with spirituality, this image will surely captivate your imagination.
