Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Gallery of Scripture Engravings, Historical and Landscape, Vol. 1: With Descriptions, Historical, Geographical, and Pictorial
Tunas are two points of view under which Engravings, after renowned Paintings, representing the principal events of Scripture History, appear to offer such claims to general notice as scarcely any other application of the Engraver's art can advance. Not only are the subjects represented more generally interesting than any other, as embodying facts with which every one is acquainted, and which have the most intimate connection with the best sympathies and highest hopes of every Christian bosom; but the very subjects, of such deep interest in them selves, are precisely those to which the greatest painters that the world has ever seen, have consecrated the highest efforts of their genius and their skill.

Excerpt from The Gallery of Scripture Engravings, Historical and Landscape, Vol. 1: With Descriptions, Historical, Geographical, and Pictorial
Thus it has happened, that subjects of more general and more elevated interest than any others which the history of the world has afforded, have been embodied in paintings which have obtained the highest admiration as works of art.
To possess accurate and effective copies of works combining this twofold interest, by means of finished Engravings, produced at a great expense, has hitherto been the luxury of the few but is, in the present undertaking, opened to the solace and enjoyment of the many, by means of a price suited to very moderate circumstances.
It is hoped that the interest and value of this work will be considered as being materially enhanced by the engraved Landscapes which have. Been introduced. They will be found to represent the most interesting of the sites mentioned in the Sacred Scriptures; and while they largely gratify the desire, so generally felt, to become acquainted with the distinguishing characteristics of the spots made venerable by the acts and sufferings of Christ, and by the presence of patriarchs, prophets, and apostles - the combination of Historical and Landscape Engravings cannot but be deemed 9° natural as it is unquestionably interesting. The historical subjects gratify the taste and assist the imagination, by realizing the circumstances and action, of the Scriptural incidents, while, at the same time, the landscapes represent in faithful characters the places where these circumstances were witnessed. It would have been better, doubtless, had the Painter's idea of the historical action been combined, in the same picture, with the true and natural landscape. Modern artists may be able to realize this object from the materials which the present landscapes, and those contained in other publications, supply. But when the paintings of the great ancient masters, from which most of our historical Engravings are copied, were produced, no such materials were in existence and now that they have become easy of access, the highest efforts of art are no longer directed to subjects of Scripture history, or have ceased to be made in that direction with any remarkable Success. The best course that remains to us is, therefore, to take the sacred historical pictures in which the ancien'rs excelled, and the sacred landscapes in which WE excel - or rather, which we alone possess - and exhibit them together under some such combination as that which the present work affords.
