EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Queen Esther, a brave and cunning Jewish woman who rose to power and saved her people from destruction in ancient Persia. Esther's story is told in the Old Testament of the Bible, specifically in the Book of Esther. In this historical account, Esther is chosen as the queen of Ahasuerus, a powerful and wealthy ruler whose lands extended from India to Ethiopia, encompassing over one hundred and twenty-seven provinces. Despite Esther's Jewish heritage, she was selected from among all the virgin maidens in the kingdom to become the queen, a decision that was not only a testament to her beauty but also her intelligence and charisma. Ahasuerus' reign was marked by grandeur and opulence, and this image captures the regal elegance of Esther as she sits before him, dressed in the finest robes and adorned with precious jewels. The story of Esther is a significant one in Jewish and world history, as it illustrates the resilience and resourcefulness of the Jewish people in the face of adversity. The events that unfolded during Esther's reign, including her role in saving her people from the genocidal plans of the wicked Haman, continue to inspire and captivate audiences to this day. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich and complex history of the ancient world, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of courage, wisdom, and determination in the face of adversity.
