EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Moses slaying the Egyptian" takes us back to the 19th century, where biblical stories were brought to life through intricate illustrations. Created by Edward John Poynter and based on an original work by Edwin Dalton, this print showcases a pivotal moment from the Old Testament. In this scene, Moses is depicted in a powerful stance as he confronts an Egyptian oppressor. With determination etched upon his face, Moses raises his arm high above his head, holding a weapon that symbolizes justice and liberation. The intensity of the moment is palpable as we witness Moses taking action against injustice. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving. From the folds of fabric in Moses' robe to the expressions on both characters' faces, each element adds depth and emotion to the narrative. This illustration serves as a visual reminder of one man's courage and conviction in standing up for what is right. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from centuries past, it transports us into a world filled with ancient tales and profound teachings. It invites us to reflect on themes such as faith, morality, and human resilience that have endured throughout history. With its timeless appeal and artistic excellence captured in black ink on paper, "Moses slaying the Egyptian" continues to captivate viewers today just as it did when it was first created over a century ago.
