EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Moses in the Bulrushes" takes us back to biblical times, specifically to the story of Moses as told in the Book of Exodus. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, this print showcases a scene filled with intrigue and hope. In this image, we witness baby Moses floating gently amidst a lush bed of bulrushes on the Nile River. The delicate colours bring out the beauty of his surroundings while emphasizing his vulnerability as he lies peacefully within an ark made by his mother. This act was done to protect him from Pharaoh's decree that all Hebrew male infants be killed. As we gaze upon this artwork, our eyes are drawn to three young maidens standing nearby. One can assume they are Pharaoh's daughter and her attendants who have discovered this precious babe among the reeds. Their expressions convey surprise and compassion for this unexpected find. The artist skillfully captures both tension and anticipation in their faces, leaving us wondering about their next actions. Will they keep Moses hidden or reveal his true identity? What will become of him? This enchanting engraving is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for a Bible Picture Book published around 1880 by SPCK (Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge). It serves as a visual reminder of one of history's most significant stories - showcasing faith, courage, and divine intervention that shaped Moses' destiny as he grew up to lead his people out of
