Very Rare Large Passion Of The Christ Early 18th Cent. Engraving
VERY RARE LARGE PASSION OF JESUS CHRIST EARLY 18TH CENT. THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY DETAILED AND EMOTIONALLY MOVING ENGRAVING DISPLAYING THE TORTURE OF JESUS CHRIST BY ROMAN SOLDIERS. THE PAGE HAS VERSES OF BIBLE AND SOME NOTES. IT CAME FROM A LARGE EARLY 18TH CENTURY BIBLE, AND GIVEN THE QUALITY OF THE PAPER AND ENGRAVING, CERTAINLY WAS MADE FOR A SPECIAL BIBLE. EVERY TIME I LOOK AT IT, IT LOOKS LIKE A SCENE FROM THE MOVIE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, JUST DRAWN IN GREAT DETAILS 300 YEARS EARLIER! CONDITION: EXCELLENT FOR ITS AGE. NO DAME, NO MOLDING. ENGRAVED AREA 9 1/2″ X 15 1/2″. FULL PAGE 11 1/5″ X 17 1/5″. FRAME 21 1/5″ X 27 1/5″.
