EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Fac-simile of the Moabite Stone" takes us back to the 19th century. The print showcases a remarkable replica of the ancient artifact known as the Moabite Stone, meticulously engraved by an English School artist. The Moabite Stone itself is a significant historical discovery, dating back to around 850 BCE. It was found in Jordan and bears an inscription in ancient Hebrew script that tells the story of King Mesha of Moab's rebellion against Israel. This facsimile allows us to appreciate its intricate details and gain insight into this fascinating piece of history. Displayed within a private collection, this illustration originally appeared in one edition from a series called The Weekly Welcome published between 1877-1882 by S W Partridge. Its inclusion suggests that it aimed to educate readers about important archaeological findings like the Moabite Stone. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary artwork for our enjoyment today. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back to a time when exploration and discovery were at their peak. This engraving serves as both a testament to human curiosity and an invitation for us to delve deeper into our past.
