Description
Original 1826 Bible engraving depicting the famous Old Testament story of David and Bathsheba, one of the most dramatic and influential narratives in biblical history (2 Samuel 11).
The scene portrays Bathsheba beside an elaborate fountain and palace garden, recalling the moment that King David first observed her from his rooftop. The image is executed in an elegant neoclassical style, emphasizing architecture, beauty, courtly setting, and the tragic biblical story that followed.
The plate is titled:
"David and Bethsheba"
(an early spelling variation commonly found in nineteenth-century biblical publications).
This subject has remained one of the most collected biblical images for centuries because it combines themes of beauty, temptation, kingship, love, sin, repentance, and redemption. It appeals to collectors of Bible engravings, religious art, women in antiquity, Old Testament subjects, and romantic historical imagery.
An authentic 1826 engraving from the celebrated Brown Bible, not a modern reproduction.
Condition: Age toning, foxing, staining, edge wear, and handling marks consistent with age. Large lower-margin moisture stain and scattered foxing present. Please review photographs carefully.

The image shows Saul collapsing before the apparition of the prophet Samuel, summoned by the Witch of Endor on the eve of Israel's defeat by the Philistines. Cloaked figures recoil as the spectral figure emerges amid supernatural light and smoke, creating one of the most visually striking scenes in biblical literature.
The plate is titled:
"Saul and the Witch of Endor"
and bears the subtitle:
"From a Painting by West"
referring to the celebrated historical painter Benjamin West, whose biblical and historical works influenced generations of engravers and book illustrators.
Few biblical subjects combine religion, prophecy, kingship, ghosts, necromancy, and the supernatural as dramatically as the Witch of Endor narrative. The scene appeals not only to collectors of biblical prints but also to collectors of witchcraft, occult history, folklore, supernatural art, and Gothic imagery.
