EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white gravure print titled "Moses in the bulrushes" by Hippolyte Delaroche transports us back to ancient Egypt, as depicted in the Bible. The scene showcases a pivotal moment in Moses' life, where his mother ingeniously places him in a basket made of bulrushes and sets him adrift on the river Nile. The delicate engravings beautifully capture the serenity of this biblical tale. The baby Moses lies peacefully within the sturdy basket, surrounded by lush vegetation and gently flowing water. His mother's love is evident through her careful craftsmanship and determination to protect her child from Pharaoh's decree to kill all Hebrew newborns. The artist skillfully portrays Moses' vulnerability as an infant while also hinting at his future significance as a great leader. This image serves as a powerful reminder of hope amidst adversity, illustrating how even the most humble beginnings can lead to extraordinary destinies. Originally published in Charles Horne's compilation "Great Men and Famous Women" this digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate every intricate detail with clarity. It is truly remarkable how art can transcend time, allowing us to connect with stories that have shaped our collective consciousness for centuries. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing engraving, let us reflect on the timeless themes it represents – faith, courage, and resilience – which continue to inspire countless generations around the world.
