EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Little children mocking Elisha" transports us to a biblical scene filled with innocence and mischief. Created by the talented artist Siegfried Detler Bendixen (1786-1864), this print captures a moment from one of the Preceptive Illustrations of The Bible published by Thomas Varty. In this vividly depicted story, we witness a group of little children engaging in an act of mockery towards Elisha, a prominent figure in biblical history. Their youthful faces are animated with mischievous grins as they taunt and jest at the revered prophet. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing life to each child's expression and capturing their playful nature. Through his skilful hand-colouring techniques, Bendixen adds depth and vibrancy to the scene, immersing us further into this ancient tale. Dated 10 November 1848, this particular copy showcases the varying hand-colouring used throughout different editions of these illustrations over time. It serves as a reminder that these timeless stories have been cherished for generations and continue to captivate audiences even today. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are reminded of the power art holds in preserving historical narratives and sparking our imagination. This print invites us to reflect on themes such as faith, childhood innocence, and human nature – reminding us that even within sacred texts lies lessons applicable across time.
