EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Sir John Tenniel, titled "From the Nile to the Neva," transports us back in time to a poignant moment in history. The image depicts a scene from the biblical story of Exodus, where the Egyptians are shown making the children of Israel serve with great severity and hardship. Tenniel's masterful use of satire and humor shines through in this piece, as he skillfully captures the essence of oppression and struggle faced by the Israelites. The stark black and white contrast adds to the intensity of emotion conveyed in this powerful illustration. The juxtaposition of ancient Egypt along the Nile River with references to modern-day Russia (the Neva) creates a thought-provoking commentary on power dynamics and human suffering that transcends time and place. Through his artistry, Tenniel invites us to reflect on themes of bondage, resilience, and liberation that resonate across cultures and centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of the enduring relevance of historical narratives and their impact on our collective consciousness. Tenniel's work serves as a visual reminder of both past injustices and ongoing struggles for freedom around the world.
