Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Head-piece to Genesis. Emblems of the Law (Loutherbourg’s own title; no Bible reference is given). A still life is depicted, with the stone tablets of the Decalogue leaning against an urn and ewer amongst rolled scrolls, with an ephod (or high priest’s breast-plate, with twelve stones for each of the tribes of Israel), a censer, a trumpet, a staff, a sword (for the punishment of transgressors) and a palm leaf upon a fringed cloth thrown over a lectern. These are items of the ritual law associated with Jewish worship and festivals. Letterpress in two columns below and on verso. c.1790-1800. Inscriptions: print lettered below image with production detail: "P J de Loutherbourg invt.", "Jas. Fittler Sculp" Print made by James Fittler. Dimensions: Height: 482 mms (sheet); width: 388 millimetres (sheet). Clearly, the detailed drawing was meant to serve as a head-piece to the first five books of the Bible – known to the Jews as the Books of the Law (the Torah) received directly from God and written down by Moses. |
