EDITORS COMMENTS
In this coloured engraving by Bendixen, we are transported back in time to witness a powerful biblical scene. The print depicts the story of little children mocking Elisha, one of the holy men from the Bible. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel the tension and disbelief that fills the air. The artist skillfully captures the innocence and mischievousness of these young boys as they taunt Elisha. Their faces reveal a mixture of curiosity and defiance, while their gestures suggest a lack of respect for his authority. It is a poignant reminder that even children can sometimes challenge those who hold religious significance. Elisha's calm demeanor amidst this mockery serves as an example of unwavering faith and patience in times of adversity. His expression conveys wisdom beyond his years, reminding us that true strength lies not only in physical power but also in spiritual resilience. This engraving is part of Thomas Varty's Preceptive Illustrations series published around 1880, which aimed to bring biblical stories to life through visual representation. Its inclusion in private collections speaks to its enduring value as both a work of art and an important historical document. As we contemplate this thought-provoking image, let us reflect on how our actions towards others, regardless of age or status, can impact their faith and beliefs. May it serve as a reminder to treat one another with kindness and respect within our diverse religious landscape.
