EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the Thomas Bankes Bible, published in 1787, depicts the dramatic moment of discovery in the biblical story of Joseph and his brothers. The Old Testament narrative in Genesis 44 recounts how Joseph, having been sold into slavery in Egypt by his jealous brothers, had risen to become a powerful figure in Egyptian society. In an intricate plan to test his brothers' loyalty, Joseph accused them of theft and demanded that the culprit be identified by returning the silver cup that he had planted in the sack of the youngest brother, Benjamin. As seen in this print, the brothers, filled with fear and guilt, searched through their belongings, only to find the silver cup in Benjamin's sack. The expression on Benjamin's face reveals his shock and dismay, while the other brothers look on with a mix of anxiety and concern. The detailed illustration captures the tension and emotion of the scene, with the brothers' clothing and the rich textures of the fabric and the background adding to the sense of authenticity. The Thomas Bankes Bible, a fine example of 18th-century English Bible printing, is renowned for its high-quality illustrations, which were produced using the latest techniques of the time. This image, in particular, demonstrates the skill and artistry of the engraver and the printer, as well as the beauty and intricacy of the Bible itself. The Silver cup of Joseph found in Benjamin's sack remains a powerful and evocative image in the annals of biblical storytelling, and this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the ways in which the story was interpreted and depicted in the late 18th century.
