Size of Bourne engraving: unknown
Estimated date engraved: about 1859
Source of print: Engraving of an unidentified painting from an unidentified book published by John Philp at the 'Establishment for Promoting Christian Fine Arts' in Portman Square, London. This illustration courtesy of the British Museum (registration number 1860,0114.436) acquired in 1860.
Printed by: John Philp
Title of source painting: unknown
Painter: Theodor Mintrop
Probable date of source painting: unknown
Current location of painting: unknown
Note: John Philp published numerous books dedicated to Christian study from his establishment in Portman Square, London. The British Museum speculates his publishing period 1860 to 1867. Two possible sources for this print include Dusseldorf Society's Engravings of Sacred and Legendary Subjects. and Societa Artistica of Florence, both published in 1860 or before. Please let me know if anyone has access to these works and can determine whether either is the source. The Dusseldorf Gallery (Society) published at least 500 engravings on a subscription basis, at least part through John Philp. The Society apparently published over an extended period, presumably in the 1850s and 1860s, so it is highly possible that one of those issues might also have been the source for this print.
Rarity unknown (never seen offered for sale). This print is exceedingly rare.

Note: I have not yet seen this print sold and have, in fact, encountered only once in the collection of contributor Chen Jinchun. Like other Bourne prints of Biblical subjects, it seems likely that this appeared in an illustrated Bible. Some Bourne prints are known in the 1864, The Practical and Devotional Family Bible by Henry, Scott and McFarlane, but exact print titles in the Bibles remain elusive. It is always possible that Bourne's prints have appeared in other Bible editions. The original 1853 Vernet painting sold in 2019 for US$574,324.
