EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Flight into Egypt" from the renowned publication, "The History and Life of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ" authored by Reverend J. Milner and published in 1808 by B. Crosby. The engraving, skillfully executed by William Hopwood (1784-1853), is now part of a private collection. In this poignant scene, we witness the Holy Family's perilous journey as they escape King Herod's wrathful decree to kill all male infants. The Virgin Mary tenderly cradles baby Jesus while seated atop a humble donkey, symbolizing their reliance on divine providence during their flight. Joseph, depicted alongside them, guides the donkey through treacherous terrain with utmost care and concern for his beloved family's safety. Their expressions reveal both determination and vulnerability as they navigate an uncertain path towards refuge in Egypt. This engraving beautifully captures the essence of devotion and sacrifice embodied by Mary and Joseph as they protect their precious child from impending danger. It serves as a timeless reminder of the challenges faced by ordinary individuals chosen for extraordinary purposes. Through its intricate details and masterful composition, this artwork invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as faith, resilience, and parental love that transcend time itself. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of religious narratives in shaping our collective understanding of humanity's spiritual journey throughout history.
