- Reason
- A fine example of Victorian religious artwork, of the type that might be hung up in a religious home. Also, when I was searching for Psalm 23 online as part of my quest to identify it, I discovered this appears to be the best illustration for the Psalm available pretty much anywhere. Even commercial products are of far less artistic merit.
So... I think this image fills a very valuable niche.

- Support. I absolutely love it- incredibly high quality, and great encyclopedic subject matter. It would possibly be a strong addition to the image page to specify which version of the Bible this is from- was there one particular version that the Society used? Presumably KJV?

- Sorry, I was raised in a certain type of religious environment so that it seemed too obvious to note. =) Anyway, yes, KJV: that really was almost universal at the time. By the way, this was a charity shop find: 5 quid, and the book has several more useful illustrations of similar quality =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:07, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- I'm a religious studies student (which also means I'd love to see more pictures of this sort!), but I guessed it was an interesting point that wouldn't be as obvious to many. And yes, charity shops are utterly wonderful! It's nice to see you back about, by the way- this seems a great picture with which to re-enter the fray :) J Milburn (talk) 21:44, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
- Ooh, you'll love this book, then. Everything from Wesley preaching to the Exodus to a Kronheim artwork in a similar style to this; "The Spirit and the Bride say 'Come'." That last only has a couple usages, perhaps, but it'd help out a lot in places like bridal theology. I'll do aother one now! Possibly not the Kronheim - it uses a lot of silve ink, which is not going to scan well... Adam Cuerden (talk) 21:51, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
