EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Samuel Anointing David" captures a pivotal moment in biblical history. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this print showcases an illustration for The Sunday Scrap Book, published by Cassell around 1890. The scene depicted is from the book of Samuel in the Bible, specifically chapter 1 of Samuel, verse x. It portrays the powerful act of anointing as Samuel anoints David to be the future king of Israel. The significance of this event lies in God's divine choice and recognition of David's potential as a leader. The artist skillfully brings this sacred moment to life through intricate details and masterful composition. The expressions on both Samuel and David's faces convey deep emotion and reverence for their roles in fulfilling God's plan. Through digital cleaning techniques, this image has been preserved beautifully, allowing us to appreciate its historical value even more. This particular print is part of a private collection but has found its way into public view thanks to Look and Learn. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded not only of biblical narratives but also how art can transport us back in time, connecting us with stories that have shaped our collective consciousness for centuries.
