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.
