EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print depicts a significant moment in ancient Jewish history - the Passover ritual as practiced in ancient Egypt. The scene showcases a devoted Jewish family, hailing from the land of Pharaohs, marking their home with the blood of lambs for the first Passover. The image beautifully captures the essence of tradition and heritage, as generations come together to partake in this biblical ceremony. A father stands tall, holding a lamb while his wife gently cradles their infant daughter. Their son looks on with curiosity and awe as his mother carefully applies the lamb's blood onto their doorpost. Intriguingly historic, this illustration transports us back to an era when Moses led his people out of slavery and towards freedom. It serves as a reminder of the hardships endured by Hebrews under Egyptian rule and symbolizes God's protection during times of pestilence. Every detail within this artwork speaks volumes about faith and devotion: from the meticulous coloring to each character’s expression brimming with reverence. This timeless piece not only commemorates an important event but also pays homage to one of Judaism's most sacred traditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable depiction, we are reminded that even through trials and tribulations, families have always found solace in their customs – passing down stories from generation to generation – ensuring that these cherished rituals remain alive throughout time.
