EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Josiah destroying the False Gods" transports us back to the 19th century with its intricate details and powerful narrative. Created by an English School artist, this print showcases a pivotal moment in biblical history. The scene depicts King Josiah, known for his devotion to God, taking a stand against idolatry. With determination etched on his face, he stands amidst a collection of statues and sculptures representing false gods. The engravings skillfully capture the intensity of the moment as Josiah raises his sword high above his head, ready to strike down these symbols of worship. This illustration was originally created for "Light for Little Footsteps: Bible Stories Illustrated" published around 1895. It serves as a visual representation of one of the many stories found within the Bible – a testament to faith and loyalty. The contrast between light and shadow in this black-and-white artwork adds depth and drama to the composition. Each line meticulously carved into the plate by an unknown engraver brings life to every figure present in this ancient cult site. As we admire this historical masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it reminds us of humanity's eternal struggle between true faith and false idols. This print not only captures an important religious event but also showcases artistry at its finest during the 19th century - truly deserving recognition among other notable works from that era.
