EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Strife at the Well, Genesis xiii, 5-9" transports us back to the 19th century. Created by an English School artist, this print showcases a scene from the biblical story of Genesis. The illustration depicts a well shaft surrounded by characters engaged in intense conflict. The composition captures the essence of strife and tension as individuals vie for access to the spring of water within the well hole. Each figure is intricately detailed, showcasing their emotions and expressions vividly. This artwork was originally featured in "The Picture Scrap Book or Happy Hours at Home" published by the Religious Tract Society in 1864 or earlier. It serves as a visual representation of one of humanity's most fundamental struggles – competition for resources. The skillful engraving technique employed adds depth and texture to this powerful image. The contrast between light and shadow emphasizes both the physicality of the figures and their emotional turmoil. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are reminded that even centuries ago, conflicts over basic necessities like water were prevalent. This artwork invites us to reflect on our own relationships with resources today while appreciating its artistic beauty.
