EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from the 19th century, we witness a historic meeting between two legendary figures - Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. The scene unfolds in Jerusalem, as Solomon graciously receives the esteemed queen. The image depicts a regal ambiance befitting these royal individuals. Both are adorned in majestic attire, exuding power and authority. Solomon's wise countenance reflects his reputation as one of history's most renowned kings, while the Queen of Sheba emanates grace and elegance. This encounter holds immense significance within both Jewish and Ethiopian traditions. In Judaism, it is believed that their meeting resulted in an exchange of wisdom and wealth between Israel and Ethiopia. Meanwhile, Ethiopian folklore portrays the Queen of Sheba (also known as Makeda) as a powerful ruler who embarked on a journey to seek Solomon's wisdom. The intricate details captured by this wood engraving highlight not only the artistic skill but also provide insight into biblical narratives found in the Old Testament. It serves as a visual reminder of ancient tales passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this print from The Granger Collection, New York, we are transported back to an era where legends intertwined with reality. It invites us to ponder upon historical connections between different cultures and marvel at how stories can transcend time itself.
