1849 Copper Engraving Joseph Pharaoh Dreams Guereino Royalty Egypt Biblical XHA2

This is an original 1849 black and white copper engraving of Joseph interpreting the Pharaoh's dreams. For this, Joseph was released from prison, and served as one of Pharaoh's right-hand men. We are assuming that the artist of this image is Guereino, and the engraver, J. B. Neagle. Period Paper is pleased to present a rare collection of copper-plate engravings depicting the Jewish antiquities and the Jewish War from a translation of Flavius Josephus' genuine works. Josephus (37-100 AD), was a Jewish historian and provided valuable information on the background of early Christianity, and of Judaism in the 1st century. These copper-plate engravings, which accompanied the manuscript, offer remarkable depth and vivid detailing. Please take a closer look at these images, as they are absolutely stunning in their contrast, and would look exceptional framed.CONDITIONThis 162+ year old Item is rated Fine. Light aging throughout.
