EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Uzziah struck with Leprosy after burning Incense upon the Altar" transports us back to biblical times. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from the Old Testament. The scene depicts Uzziah, a king of Judah, who dared to burn incense upon the altar without being ordained as a priest. As punishment for his audacity and disobedience to God's laws, Uzziah is instantly struck with leprosy. The artist skillfully portrays this divine retribution through intricate details and expressive figures. This engraving was originally featured in Cassells Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition around 1880. It serves as an illustration for one of many powerful stories found within the pages of the Bible. Through its inclusion in this publication, it aimed to bring these ancient tales alive for families seeking spiritual guidance and enlightenment. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art from their private collection. Its presence reminds us not only of Uzziah's fateful encounter but also of the enduring power and relevance that biblical narratives hold across generations. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of both cautionary tales and timeless truths contained within scripture – lessons that continue to shape our understanding of faith and morality today.
