EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Shaving the Head" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into an ancient practice. The image showcases an intimate moment as a skilled anatomist carefully shaves the head of his subject. This intriguing print is part of a private collection and was originally created for "The Land of the Bible, Its Sacred Heroes and Wonderful Story" publication in 1880. The artist's attention to detail is evident in this illustration, capturing not only the act of shaving but also emphasizing the significance of this ritual. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of the Middle East, we are transported to another time and place where traditions were deeply rooted. The use of black and white adds depth to this composition while highlighting every intricate line engraved by its talented creator. It invites viewers to appreciate both the technical skill involved in producing such detailed work and its historical context within biblical narratives. As we contemplate this artwork from Bridgeman Images' vast collection, it serves as a reminder that art has always been instrumental in preserving cultural practices throughout history. Whether for educational purposes or personal enjoyment, this print offers us an opportunity to immerse ourselves in centuries-old customs that continue to shape our understanding today.
