EDITORS COMMENTS
This late 19th century color print depicts a biblical scene from the Old Testament story of Eli and Samuel (1 Samuel 3:1-10, 19-21). The image beautifully captures the moment when God calls upon the young Samuel for the first time, initiating his prophetic ministry. Eli, the high priest, is shown seated on a chair with a large open Bible resting on his lap. His eyes are closed in prayer, his head slightly tilted towards the heavens, as he listens intently for God's voice. The solemn expression on his face conveys a deep sense of reverence and faith. Beside Eli, a young Samuel, dressed in simple robes, is depicted with a look of awe and wonder. He clutches a small lamp and a horn, symbols of his calling as a prophet. The dimly lit room, with its intricately patterned walls and ornate furnishings, adds to the mystical atmosphere of the scene. The use of vibrant colors in this print brings the story to life, making it a striking and engaging visual representation of this significant moment in Christian history. The rich hues of the robes, the intricate details of the Bible, and the warm glow of the lamp all contribute to the overall effect of this image. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when faith and spirituality were deeply intertwined with daily life. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the Bible as a source of inspiration and guidance, and of the importance of listening for God's voice in our own lives.
