EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolitho print titled "Abel and his sheep" we are transported back to biblical times, where the story of Abel unfolds. The image showcases a young boy named Abel, adorned in fur clothing, standing amidst a flock of gentle sheep. His serene expression and tender gaze convey an undeniable bond between him and his beloved animals. This artwork is an illustration from the renowned book "Boys of Bible Story No 3" by C J Ridgeway, beautifully brought to life by the talented artists Henry Ryland and John Lawson in 1893. Their collaboration captures the essence of innocence and purity that resonates throughout this timeless tale. Abel's role as a shepherd is symbolically significant, representing his nurturing nature and responsibility towards these creatures under his care. As we delve into this scene, it becomes evident that Abel's connection with nature goes beyond mere duty; it is rooted in love. The intricate details within this print showcase not only the skillful craftsmanship but also provide us with a glimpse into everyday life during biblical times. From the texture of Abel's clothing to each individual strand on the sheep's woolly coats – every element has been meticulously portrayed. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us reflect upon our own relationships with both nature and those entrusted to our care. Just like Abel tended to his flock with devotion, may we too embrace compassion for all living beings around us.
