Soloman, the legendary king of Israel, is surrounded by tales of grandeur and wisdom. Hiram, the clever craftsman of Tyre, played a crucial role in constructing the magnificent pillars of brass for Soloman's temple. The Phoenician craftsmen also contributed their expertise to build this sacred place. In an awe-inspiring lithograph, we catch a glimpse of the interior of the Mosque of Omar, standing tall above the rock where Abraham is believed to have made his offering. This image transports us back in time and allows us to imagine the spiritual significance that resonated within those walls. Another lithograph depicts Soloman sending presents to Hiram as a gesture of gratitude for his invaluable contributions. It showcases their strong bond and mutual respect as they worked together towards a common goal. A regal lithograph captures Soloman on the steps of his throne, radiating power and authority. His presence commands attention and reflects his status as one of history's most influential rulers. Dedicating the temple was undoubtedly one of Soloman's defining moments. A beautiful illustration from The Bible Picture Book shows him engaged in this sacred act with utmost reverence and devotion. Le Temple de Salomon comes alive through a vibrant color lithograph that portrays its magnificence in intricate detail. Every element speaks volumes about Soloman's vision and commitment to creating something truly extraordinary. As he gazes out onto his masterpiece in another lithograph, we witness both pride and humility on Soloman's face. He marvels at what has been achieved under his reign but remains aware that true greatness lies beyond material possessions. The Friend in Need painting from "Illustrated London News" reminds us that even mighty kings like Soloman faced challenges requiring assistance from others. It serves as a reminder that strength can be found not only in power but also in vulnerability when seeking support from friends or allies. Bordering on mythological proportions is the encounter between Soloman and the Queen of Sheba.
