About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1883. Excerpt: ... DIVISION G. ORDINARY ENGRAVINGS. G 1. Samson and Delilah--Lower Germany, 15th Century. In this design three actions are represented, viz.: Samson rending the young lion; Delilah cutting off Samson's hair; Samson pulling away a pillar of the building in order to slay the Philistines.

On her head is a small, close fitting-cap adorned with pearls or jewels. A necklace is present, and on the ornamental collar of the tunic is the word Dalila in Roman letters. Samson has on a short tunic, tight hose, and pointed shoes. His feet nearly touch the lower right-hand corner of the print. He has a scarf around the waist, the ends of which extend along the wall on the right, which encloses the bank on which Delilah is sitting. Above, on the right-hand side, Samson is opening the jaws of the lion, about to rend him "as he would have rent a kid" (Judges xiv. 6). The head of the lion is more human than animal in character, while on the head of Samson is a very peculiar cap. His mantle flutters away on the right among the rocks. On the extreme left, and above Delilah, Samson is about to pull away the pillar of a building, which latter it supports. The hair of his head has grown again. Three long-waved scrolls run over the general surface of the print. On the scroll above Delilah and the recumbent Samson are the words: "quod dalila fecit sapsone dormire gfm...
