EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Abraham looking towards Sodom" takes us back to the 19th century, where an English School artist skillfully captured this biblical scene.

This powerful image comes from the book "Art Pictures from the Old Testament" published by Edwin Dalton in approximately 1890. Through digital cleaning techniques, this artwork has been beautifully restored, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details and profound meaning. As we delve into the story behind it, we are reminded of its religious significance within the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament. In this black and white illustration, Abraham's contemplative expression reflects his inner turmoil as he witnesses divine judgment about to befall Sodom. The composition draws our attention to his figure against a backdrop that hints at both destruction and salvation. This engraving not only serves as a visual representation but also invites viewers to reflect on themes such as faith, morality, and consequences. It is a testament to how art can transcend time and continue to inspire contemplation centuries later.
