Antique Bible Print of Abram from the Biblia Sacra, 1743

About the Item

The print is from a Dutch Bible known as "Biblia Sacra," which is the Holy Scripture of the Old and New Testaments, translated into Dutch following the last Roman Catholic decision on the common Latin translation. This edition, published in 1743 by Hermanus Besseling in Utrecht, would be a significant artifact from a religious and historical perspective. Prints from this edition of "Biblia Sacra" would typically be expected to include various types of artwork, such as illustrations of biblical scenes, maps, genealogical charts, or even decorative lettering. These would have been executed with the printmaking techniques of the time, such as woodcut or engraving. The significance of such a print lies not only in its religious content but also in its historical context, craftsmanship, and aesthetic qualities. Such prints are often of interest to collectors, historians of religion, and those studying the history of art and printmaking. They provide insight into the interpretation and representation of biblical narratives in the 18th century, as well as the material culture of book production in the Netherlands during this period. The print is in good condition and thus quite valuable, both monetarily and historically.
