EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness the iconic biblical tale of Mordecai and Esther. The English School's meticulous attention to detail brings these characters to life, allowing us to immerse ourselves in their world. Mordecai, a wise and respected Jewish leader, stands tall with an air of authority. His eyes reflect both determination and concern as he imparts his wisdom onto his beloved niece, Esther. She is depicted as a graceful figure adorned in regal attire, her face radiating strength and beauty. The scene captures a pivotal moment from the Book of Esther when Mordecai urges Esther to use her position as Queen of Persia to save their people from impending doom. Their bond is palpable; it is evident that they share not only blood but also an unbreakable connection forged by love and loyalty. This engraving was originally created for "The Pictorial Sunday Book" by John Kitto in 1853, showcasing its historical significance within the realm of art and literature. Its inclusion in private collections speaks volumes about its enduring appeal throughout the centuries. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we cannot help but be captivated by the timeless story it represents – one that teaches us about courage, faithfulness, and standing up against injustice even when faced with insurmountable odds.
