EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph, titled "Noah's Ark" captures the biblical story of God cleansing the earth with a great flood. Created by Currier and Ives in 1874-78, this print showcases their remarkable talent for bringing religious tales to life. The image depicts Noah and his family diligently constructing an enormous ark that will become home to every species of bird and beast. The significance of this story resonated deeply with 19th-century American children as part of their Bible study. It symbolized hope, faith, and divine intervention during times of adversity. As we gaze upon this artwork today, we are transported back to a time when mythological creatures like giraffes, zebras, tigers, moose, kangaroos, elephants, bison, bears roamed freely alongside more familiar animals. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable; each animal is meticulously depicted with precision and accuracy. This piece serves not only as a visual representation of the biblical tale but also as a testament to the rich natural history that exists within our world. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since its creation until now (as it falls under public domain), "Noah's Ark" continues to inspire awe and wonderment among viewers from all walks of life. Its timeless message reminds us about the power of faith and unity amidst chaos – lessons that remain relevant even in modern times.
