EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Judgement of Solomon" an engraving created by the English School in the 19th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, beautifully captures a biblical story that has been passed down through generations. In this scene, we witness the iconic moment when King Solomon is faced with a difficult decision. Two women stand before him, each claiming to be the mother of a precious baby. To resolve their dispute and determine who truly deserves custody, Solomon suggests cutting the child in half. The intensity of emotions is palpable as we see both mothers pleading their cases while holding onto their infants tightly. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the lengths parents will go to protect and fight for their children's well-being. "The Judgement of Solomon" engraving was originally commissioned for Scripture Picture-Book (SPCK) around 1890. Its inclusion in this publication aimed to bring these timeless biblical stories to life visually and engage readers on a deeper level. Bridgeman Images has skillfully reproduced this artwork, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details and profound meaning today. It serves as an enduring testament to humanity's fascination with ancient scriptures and our desire to explore moral dilemmas that transcend time itself.
