EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Summons of the Destroying Angel to Babylon" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing an engraving by an English School artist. The artwork is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for The Bible Album, published by Ward and Lock around 1870. The image depicts a powerful biblical story set in ancient Babylon. With intricate details and expert use of tints by Edmund Evans, the print brings this tale to life. We see the moment when a destroying angel is summoned to Babylon, carrying out divine judgment upon this sinful city. The composition exudes drama and tension as dark clouds loom over towering structures, symbolizing impending doom. The angel's presence is strikingly portrayed with ethereal light illuminating its figure against the somber background. This visual contrast intensifies the sense of awe and fear that would have accompanied such a supernatural event. Through this print, we are reminded of the timeless power of biblical stories that continue to captivate audiences across generations. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and religious devotion prevalent during the era it was created.
