EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground" transports us back to biblical times. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print beautifully captures the essence of two brothers and their distinct roles in society. The image showcases Abel as a diligent shepherd, tending to his flock with care and devotion. His gentle demeanor is reflected in his eyes as he watches over his sheep grazing peacefully on lush green pastures. In contrast, Cain is depicted as a hardworking farmer, diligently cultivating the earth with determination and strength. The lines etched into his face reveal the hardships he endures while laboring under the sun. This engraving serves as an illustration for "The Lives and Lessons of the Patriarchs" by John Cumming, published in 1865. It offers viewers a visual representation of one of humanity's earliest stories from Genesis - highlighting not only the different occupations pursued by these brothers but also their contrasting personalities. Through this artwork, we are reminded of our own unique paths and callings in life. Whether we find ourselves nurturing like Abel or toiling like Cain, each role holds its own significance within society's tapestry. This digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate both characters' commitment to their respective duties while contemplating our own purposeful journeys through time.
